Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔSTU ,

m∠S = (11x+3)° ; m∠T = (2x+16)° ; m∠U = (x+7)°

According to angle sum property of a triangle , sum of all the interior angles of the triangle is 180°.

So,

$11x + 3 + 2x + 16 + x + 7 = 180$

$= > 14x + 26 = 180$

$= > 14x = 180 - 26 = 154$

$= > x = \frac{154}{14} = 11$

Answer:

(a) 120 choices

(b) 110 choices

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of ways in which we can select k element from a group n elements is given by:

$nCk=\frac{n!}{k!(n-k)!}$

So, the number of ways in which a student can select the 7 questions from the 10 questions is calculated as:

$10C7=\frac{10!}{7!(10-7)!}=120$

Then each student have 120 possible choices.

On the other hand, if a student must answer at least 3 of the first 5 questions, we have the following cases:

1. A student select 3 questions from the first 5 questions and 4 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:

$(5C3)(5C4)=\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}*\frac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}=50$

2. A student select 4 questions from the first 5 questions and 3 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:

$(5C4)(5C3)=\frac{5!}{4!(5-4)!}*\frac{5!}{3!(5-3)!}=50$

3. A student select 5 questions from the first 5 questions and 2 questions from the last 5 questions. It means that the number of choices is given by:

$(5C5)(5C2)=\frac{5!}{5!(5-5)!}*\frac{5!}{2!(5-2)!}=10$
