Answer:

<u>792 ways</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this using the combination formular

nCr= \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!} where n represents the total number of objects/items, and r represents the number of items being chosen at a time.

Hence, in this case, n =  12, r = 5, which is = nCr= \frac{12!}{5!(12-5)!} = 792.

Therefore, there are 792 ways to choose five books so that no two adjacent books are chosen.

Express , twelve times a number minus six is less than or equal to
xenn [34]

Answer:

12x - 6 ≤ - 18

Step-by-step explanation:

We will call "a number" x so

Twelve times a number would be:

12x

Then minus 6

12x - 6

Now we add the less than or equal to sign.

12x - 6 ≤

This is equal to negative eighteen, so:

12x - 6 ≤ - 18

As a bonus we can also solve for x.

12x - 6 = - 18    Add 6 to each side.

12x - 6 + 6 = -18 + 6

12x = -18 + 6

12x = -12  Divide each side by 12

12x/12 = -12/12

x = -12/12

x = -1

So we can say when x ≤ -1 Then 12x - 6 ≤ -18

Use the expressions that represent the length and width of the game board to write an equation that models the area of the figur
Ne4ueva [31]
The picture is incomplete and the width is missing.

I am going to show you how to do it using any width.

The length shown is x + 4 and the width starts with - x.

Assume the width is - x + a.

Then the area of the rectangle with dimensions x + 4 and - x + a is calculated in this way:

1) given: (x + 4) (- x + a)

2) use distribuitive property: (x)(-x) + (x)(a) + (4)(-x) + (4)(a)

= - x^2 +ax -4x + 4a

3) Combine like terms: - x^2 + (a -4)x + 4a

If the polynomial missing were - x + 7, the answer would be:

- x^2 + (7 -4)x + 4(7) = - x^2 + 3x + 28

With this you are able to get the answer using the real values.
