15 is 60 percent of 25. 15x100/60 and it should be 25.
Answer:
1771 possible ways
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, we need to know first how many candidates are in total:
10 + 3 + 10 = 23 candidates in total.
Now, we need to choose 3 of them to receive an award. In this case, we have several scenarios, but as it's an award we can also assume that the order in which the candidates are chosen do not matter, so, the formula to use is the following:
C = m! / n! (m - n)!
Where m is the total candidates and n, is the number of candidates to be chosen. Replacing this data we have:
C = 23! / 3! (23 - 3)!
C = 2.59x10^22 / 6(2.43x10^18)
C = 1771
So we have 1771 ways of choose the candidates.
Step-by-step explanation:
1st
8x-59 + 2x-11 = 180
10x -70 = 180
10x = 180 + 70
10x = 250
x = 25
2nd
8x - 59 = 15y + 6
8(25) -59 = 15y + 6
200 -59 = 15y + 6
141 = 15y + 6
15y + 6 = 141
15y = 141 - 6
15y = 135
y = 135/15
y = 9
This is a system of linear equations. First, you can add the two equations together to eliminate the y so that you can solve for x:
-5x + -7x = 0 + -96
-12x = -96
x = 8
Use x to solve for y:
-5 * 8 + 8y = 0
Add 40 to both sides and divide by 8:
y = 5
So, x = 8 and y = 5.
