Answer:
a) 21684
b) 15504
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Distribute the comic books as follows
only to 1 kid one way but we have five kids then 5
to two kids C₂₀,₂ = 20! /2! ( 20-2)! = 20*19 /2 = 190
To three C₂₀,₃ = 20! /3! ( 20 - 3)! = 20*19*18 /6 = 1140
To four C₂₀,₄ = 20 ! / 4! ( 20 - 4 )! = 20*19*18*17 /4*3*2 = 4845
To five C₂₀,₅ = 20! /5! (20 - 5 )! = 20*19*18*17*16/5*4*3*2*1
C₂₀,₅ = 15504
Then total ways of distribution are:
5 + 190 + 1140 + 4845 + 15504 = 21684
b) C₂₀,₅ we know from a that is equal to 15504
They are both decimals.
But 0.04 > 0.004.
Answer:
Move the decimal point 3 times to the left.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
2x + 16 = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = 3x + -12
Reorder the terms:
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving
16 + 2x = -12 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
16 + 2x + -3x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 2x + -3x = -1x
16 + -1x = -12 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
16 + -1x = -12 + 0
16 + -1x = -12
Add '-16' to each side of the equation.
16 + -16 + -1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: 16 + -16 = 0
0 + -1x = -12 + -16
-1x = -12 + -16
Combine like terms: -12 + -16 = -28
-1x = -28
Divide each side by '-1'.
x = 28
Simplifying
x = 28
