X would be equal to 0 while y would be equal to -1
-20(0)+6(-1)=-6
-10(0)-4(-1)=4
Answer:
(a) 720 ways
(b) 120 ways
(c) 24 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

--- number of letters
Solving (a): Number of arrangements.
We have:

So, the number of arrangements is calculated as:

This gives:

This gives:


Solving (b): DA as a unit
DA as a unit implies that, we have:
[DA] N C E R
So, we have:

So, the number of arrangements is calculated as:

This gives:

This gives:


Solving (c): NCE as a unit
NCE as a unit implies that, we have:
D A [NCE] R
So, we have:

So, the number of arrangements is calculated as:

This gives:

This gives:


Those are positive numbers.
Those that are less than zero are called negative numbers.
Zero itself can be considered both, or neither.
You just multiply the x value by 5
-2(5)=-10
-1(5)=-5
0(5)=0
3(5)=15
6(5)=30
9(5)=45
