X + 2y = 11
2x + y = 31
x = 11 - 2y
2(11 - 2y) + y = 31
22 - 4y + y = 31
3y = - 9
y = - 3
x = 11 - 2(-3)
x = 11 + 6
x = 17
This is a question of combination. In other words, the question requires determination of number of ways in which 12 appetizers can be chosen form a total of 17 appetizers.
Therefore,
Possible number of 12 groups = 17C12 = 17!/[12!*(17-12)!] = 6188
