The answer is (3) 4896.
This number comes from multiplying 18 x 17 x 16
This is because any of the 18 students could be picked as a leader. Then, any of the remaining 17 students could be picked as a recorder. Then, any of the remaining 16 students could be picked as a timekeeper. Therefore, you multiply 18 by 17 by 16 to get 4896 combinations.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
let f(x)=y
They are algebraic symbols or known as unknown number. There is no true value for them. The value of algebraic symbols are based on equations
ie. 1+x = 2
First, we isolate the x by canceling the +1 FROM BOTH SIDES(Balance method) by -1 ON BOTH SIDES.
1+x-1 = 2-1
So we are left with the x on the left side, and a single number on the right side. Therefore, our calculation is complete.
x = 1
More complex cases would be
2y-3 = 45
First, we need to isolate the algebraic symbol, which is 2y (yx2) by +3 ON BOTH SIDES
2y-3+3 = 45+3
2y = 48
WE ARE NOT DONE! 2y=48 is still an equation. Therefore, to isolate the y, we need to divide BOTH SIDES by 2
2y/2 = 48/2
y = 24
There is no true or absolute or definite value for algebraic symbols like x,y,z,a,c,t,h,d etc. They are used to represent unknown numbers.
Hope this helped!
x=4,3,2 or,1 are the possible
