Answer:
Position of point X on the number line must be X = -27
Step-by-step explanation:
Notice that there are 14 units between W and Y, since the absolute value of their difference is :
| -15-(-29) | = | -15 + 29 | = 14
Now let's write an equation that tells as what is the distance between W and X in terms of WY knowing that we want WX to be 1/7 of WY:

This is telling us that the point X must be located two (2) units to the right of point W. That is W + 2 = -29 + 2 = -27
Position of point X on the number line must be X = -27
Answer:
NEED OIL
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing to do is to calculate how many ways you can choose 3 people from a set of eight. In order to do this, we need to use the attached formula.
(The letter 'n' stands for the entire set and 'r' stands for the number of objects we wish to choose.)
So we wish to choose 3 people ('r') form a set of 8 ('n')
combinations = n! / r! * (n - r)!
combinations = 8 ! / (3! * 5!)
combinations = 8 * 7 * 6 * 5! / (3!) * (5!)
combinations = 8 * 7 * 6 / 3 * 2
combinations = 56
Now of those 56 combinations, the 3 people can finish in 6 different ways.
For example, persons A, B and C could finish
ABC or ACB or BAC or BCA or CAB or CBA
So to get the TOTAL combinations we multiply 56 * 6 which equals
336 so the answer is (a)
