Mathematics

guapka [62]2 years ago

Answer:

x=4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x, we get:

16=2(3x-6)+x

16=2*3x+2(-6)+x (Distributive Property of Multiplication)

16=6x-12+x (Multiply distributed terms)

16=7x-12 (Combine like terms)

16+12=7x-12+12 (Add 12 to both sides of the equation to isolate x)

28=7x (Combine like terms / Simplify)

\frac{28}{7}=\frac{7x}{7} (Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to get rid of x's coefficient)

\bf x=4 (Simplify / Symmetric Property of Equality)

Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

16 = 2(3x - 6) + x \\ 16 = 6x - 12 + x \\  - 6x  - x =  - 12 - 16 \\  - 7x =  - 12 - 16 \\ 7x = 12 + 16 \\ 7x = 28 \\ x =  \frac{28}{7}  \\ x = 4

How many ways can six of the letters of the word ALGORITHM be selected 8. How many ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be
SCORPION-xisa [38]
<h2>Answer with explanation:</h2>

The number of letters in word "ALGORITHM" = 9

The number of combinations to select r things from n things is given by :-

C(n,r)=\dfrac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}

Now, the number of combinations to select 6 letters from 9 letters will be :-

C(9,8)=\dfrac{9!}{6!(9-6)!}=\dfrac{9\times8\times7\times6!}{6!\times3!}=84

Thus , the number of ways can six of the letters of the word ALGORITHM=84

The number of ways to arrange n things in a row :n!

So, the number of ways can the letters of the word ALGORITHM be arranged in a be seated together in the row :-

9!=362880

If GOR comes together, then we consider it as one letter,  then the total number of letters will be = 1+6=7

Number of ways to arrange 9 letters if "GOR" comes together :-

7!=5040

Thus, the number of ways to arrange 9 letters if "GOR" comes together=5040
