Answer:
y represents the pages, while x represents the minutes. for every y, there is 9/10 x, therefore the equation is y=9/10x
Total number of ways to make a pair:
The first player can be any one of 7 . For each of those . . .
The opponent can be any one of the remaining 6 .
Total ways to make a pair = 7 x 6 = 42 ways .
BUT ... every pair can be made in two ways ... A vs B or B vs A .
So 42 'ways' make only (42/2) = 21 different pairs.
If every pair plays 2 matches, then (21 x 2) = <em><u>42 total matches</u></em> will be played.
Now, is that an elegant solution or what !
<span>(5h^3 − 8h) + (−2h^3 − h^2 − 2h)
= 5h^3 - 8h - 2h^3 - h^2 - 2h
= 3h^3 - h^2 - 10h</span>
