X-2=10
or
10=x-2
this is because it says "2 less than a number is 10" so we can infer that 2 is less than a number (x) so knowing that less than means subtract x-2=10 or you can put it as 10=x-2
One way is to just expand it by using binomial theorem
or to use pascal's triangle
ok so
to find the nth term of a binomial, (a-b). where the binomial is to the r power you do
n-1=k
rCk times

and rCk=

so
4th term
4-1=3
6 is exponent
6C3

=

=

=

the 4th term is
Answer:
-1/4 OR -0.25
Step-by-step explanation:
Using PEMDAS:
3/4 = 3/4... or 0.75.
Subtracting 1: 3/4 - 4/4 (or 1) = -1/4. 0.75 - 1 = -0.25.
1/3+5/12=4/12+5/12=9/12=3/4 of guests choose meat
1-3/4=1/4 of guests are vegetarians
so
23 guests is 1/4 of all guests
23*4=92 all guests
