Answer:

7 & -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming you want the value of x...

Since the equation is wrapped in an absolute value, we must get x for both the positive and negative value.

<u>Positive x</u>

3x-9=12\\3x=21\\x=7

<u>Negative x</u>

3x-9=-12\\3x=-3\\x=-1\\

Both of these will equal 12 when tested.

|3(-1)-9|=12\\|-3-9|=12\\|-12|=12\\12=12\\

|3(7)-9|=12\\|21-9|=12\\12=12\\

How many ways can 6 people be chosen and arranged in straight line if there are 8 people to choose from? a. 48.b. 720.c. 20, 160
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

<h2>C. <em>20,160</em></h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

This question bothers on permutation since we are to select a some people out of a group of people and then arrange in a straight line. If r object are to be arranged in a straight line when selecting them from n pool of objects. This can be done in nPr number of ways.

nPr = n!/(n-r)!

Selection of 6 people out of 8 people can therefore be done in 8C6 number of ways.

8P6 = 8!/(8-6)!

8P6 = 8!/2!

8P6 = 8*7*6*5*4*3*2!/2!

8P6 = 8*7*6*5*4*3

8P6 = 56*360

8P6 = 20,160

<em>Hence this can be done in 20,160 number of ways</em>
