(a)  there are 8C2  = 28 ways of picking 2 girls from 8
And there are  21C4  =  5985 ways of picking 4 boys

Required number of ways for 2g / 4b  = 28 * 5985 =  167,580 

(b) at least 2 girls means  combinations of 2g/4b , 3g,3b , 4g/2b , 5g 1b or 
6 girls.

2g/4b  = 167,580 ways
3g/3b =  8C3 * 21C3 =  56 * 1330 = 74,480
4g/2b =  8C4* 21C2  =   70 * 210 = 14,700 
5g 1b = 8C5* 21 =  56*21 = 1176
6 girls  = 8C6 = 28

adding these up we get the answer to (b) which is  257,964

Which values of k are solutions to the inequality StartAbsoluteValue negative k minus 2 EndAbsoluteValue less-than 18? Check all
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

You could just replace all the given possible values of k in the inequality and see which ones are solutions, but let's solve this in a more interesting way:

First, remember how the absolute value works:

IxI = x if x ≥ 0

IxI = -x if x ≤ 0

Then if we have something like:

IxI < B

We can rewrite this as

-B < x < B

Now let's answer the question, here we have the inequality:

I-k -2I < 18

Then we can rewrite this as:

-18 < (-k - 2) < 18

Now let's isolate k:

first, we can add 2 in the 3 parts of the inequality:

-18 + 2 < -k - 2 + 2 < 18 + 2

-16 < -k < 20

Now we can multiply all sides by -1, remember that this also changes the direction of the signs, then:

-1*-16 > -1*-k > -1*20

16 > k > -20

Then k can be any value between these two limits.

So the correct options (from the given ones) are:

k = -16

k = -8

k = 0

Compute a value for t that satisfies the equation below. "-2/3" t - 2 = - 3
Dima020 [189]

Answer:

t = 3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

Instead of randomly guessing values of "t" that will satisfy the equation, you can easily find the correct value by solving the equation in terms of "t". In other words, you can set the equation equal to "t" to find the final answer.

(-2/3)t - 2 = -3                             <----- Original equation

(-2/3)t = -1                                   <----- Add 2 to both sides

t = 3/2                                        <----- Divide both sides by -2/3

You can check this value by plugging it into "t" and determining whether both sides of the equations will be equal.

(-2/3)t - 2 = -3                            <----- Original equation

(-2/3)(3/2) - 2 = -3                      <----- Plug 3/2 into "t"

-6/6 - 2 = -3                               <----- Multiply -2/3 and 3/2

-1 - 2 = -3                                    <----- Simplify -6/6

-3 = -3                                        <----- Subtract
