Answer:

80730

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is c(27,5)=27*26*25*24*23/5!. Here is why.

Let us solve a simpler problem. In how many ways 25 identical balls can be placed in six distinct urns such that no urn is empty?

25 balls in a row make 24 places for five dividers, so the answer is c(24,5).

2. Next problem. In how many ways 50 identical balls can be placed in six distinct urns such that no urn is empty and each urn contains even number of balls.

We group 50 balls in 25 pairs, so the answer is the same as in the previous problem which is

c(48/2,5)=c(24,5).

Let us denote the content of each urn as

u(1),u(2),…u(6). Note that each u(i) is even. Denote u(i) as u(i)=2k(i) where k is a natural number. We have

2k(1)+2k(2)+2k(3)+2k(4)+2k(5)+2k(6)=50.

3. Now let us proceed to the original problem where odd number of balls in each urn is required.

We have

2k(1)-1+2k(2)-1+2k(3)-1+2k(4)-1+2k(5)-1+2k(6)-1=50 or

2k(1)+2k(2)+2k(3)+2k(4)+2k(5)+2k(6)=56.

So the original problem reduces to previous problem where even number of balls in each urn is required but the total number of balls is 56 instead of 50.

Its answer is c(54/2,5)=c(27,5).

PLEASE ANSWER THIS ASAP, I WILL BE GIVING YOU A THANKS!
densk [106]

Answer:

I would say D. There is no logical explanation for the final answer but there is for everything else.

For A: Makes sense because 3x-2 are in parenthesis outside a number so you can multiply.

For B: Makes sense because you are allowed to add/subtract like terms but in this case only subtracting would make sense, (which is what they did) since you want to get all the like terms on one side.

For C: Makes sense because you are trying to simplify the equation, and they are both like terms (they are both numbers that have no letter attached to them) and they are on the opposite side making them able to be simplified.

For D: No idea what the point is.
