Answer:
The students can group themselves in 360360 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise we need to use the following equation:

This equation give us the number of assignation of n elements in k cell, where n1, n2, ..nk are the element that are in every cell
In this case we have 15 student that need to be assign in three vehicles with an specific capacity. This vehicles would be the equivalent to cells, so we can write the equation as:

Because the first vehicle have 7 seating, the second vehicle have 5 seating and the third vehicle have 3 seating.
Solving the equation we get 360360 ways to organized 15 students in three vehicles with capacity of 7, 5 and 3 seating.
Answer:
p= 1/3 or 0.33 repeating
Step-by-step explanation:
5-19p=-p-1
5=18p-1
6=18p
divide by 18
6/18 = 1/3 or 0.33 repeating

<em><u>Slower car</u></em>
r = r
t = 12 hours
d = ?
<em><u>Faster car</u></em>
r = r + 20
t = 8 hours
d = ?
It doesn't matter what the exact distance is. You just have to know that the 2 distances are equal ie going to the mountains from his home is the same distance as going from the mountains to his home.
d = r * t
r * 12 hours = (r + 20)* 8 hours. Remove the brackets on the right
r*12 = 8r + 20*8
r*12 = 8*r + 160
r*12 - 8r = 8r - 8r + 160
4r = 160
r = 40 miles / hour
=================
Slower Ride determines the distance.
d = r*t
d = 40 * 12
d = 480
Check
Use the faster rate (r + 20) = 40 + 20 = 60 mph
60 * 8 = 480. Both distances work out to be the same.
Answer:
q-u-a-d-r-a-t-i-c f-o-r-m-u-l-a
Step-by-step explanation:
I think that using the elimination method is the best, because it is the only method that I use when solving these types of equation. For example, for these two equations, you need to multiply one of the equations by a certain number so that you'd be able to find x and y. The elimination method is the method that tells you to do that. It is also the easiest method.
