1.
Consider a group of n objects. Assume we want to form groups of r, from these n objects.

There are in total C(n, r)= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} many ways of doing so.

where, r! is "r factorial", calculated as 1*2*3*...*(r-1)*r

2.

C(x, 2) is the total number of pairs out of x objects, that we can form.

so let the x objects represent the x teams, and 2, represent a group of 2, which means a game.

The total number of games is:

n(x)=2*C(x, 2) = 2*  \frac{x!}{2!(x-2)!}= \frac{x!}{(x-2)!}= \frac{x(x-1)(x-2)!}{(x-2)!}=x(x-1)= x^{2} -x

Remark, we multiplied by 2, since there will be 2 matches for each pair of teams.


Answer: x^{2} -x

Solve 5c 4 = -26 <br> a. 6 <br> b. -6 <br> c. -4.4 <br> d. 3
lakkis [162]
Simplifying 5C + -4 + -2C + 1 = 8C + 2 Reorder the terms: -4 + 1 + 5C + -2C = 8C + 2 Combine like terms: -4 + 1 = -3 -3 + 5C + -2C = 8C + 2 Combine like terms: 5C + -2C = 3C -3 + 3C = 8C + 2 Reorder the terms: -3 + 3C = 2 + 8C Solving -3 + 3C = 2 + 8C Solving for variable 'C'. Move all terms containing C to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-8C' to each side of the equation. -3 + 3C + -8C = 2 + 8C + -8C Combine like terms: 3C + -8C = -5C<span>-3 + -5C = 2 + 8C + -8C Combine like terms: 8C + -8C = 0 -3 + -5C = 2 + 0 -3 + -5C = 2 Add '3' to each side of the equation. -3 + 3 + -5C = 2 + 3 Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0 0 + -5C = 2 + 3 -5C = 2 + 3 Combine like terms: 2 + 3 = 5 -5C = 5 Divide each side by '-5'. C = -1 Simplifying C = -1</span>

48 students are girls they make up 60% of the class how many students total
qwelly [4]
For this you would do
48 \div .60
Because 60% is the same as 0.60. And solving a problem like this is the opposite of finding a percent of a number. When you solve this you get 80. So there are 80 students in total.
