Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
3(x + 2) = 6(x - 1) + 3
Divide both sides by 3.
x + 2 = 2(x - 1) + 1
Distribute the 2 on the right side.
x + 2 = 2x - 2 + 1
Combine like terms on the right side.
x + 2 = 2x - 1
Add 1 to both sides. Subtract x from both sides.
3 = x
x = 3
27+7 = 34
so, the answer is 34
Answer:
there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a total of 8 locations ( 4 to the new ointment and 4 to the control) , each one can be chosen and since the order of the locations that are chosen for the new ointment is not relevant , then we know that the number of choices is given by the number of combinations of 4 elements in 8
number of combinations = 8 possible locations to the first ointment * 7 possible locations to the second ( since the first one was already located) * 6 to the third * 5 locations for the fourth / number of times the same combination is repeated ( the same locations but in different positions) = 8*7*6*5 / (4 possible positions for the first ointment* 3 possible positions to the second ointment (since the first one was already located * 2 possible positions of the third * 1 possible position of the fourth)
therefore
number of combinations = 8*7*6*5/(4*3*2*1 ) = 8!/((8-4)!*4!) = 70 possible combinations
thus there are 70 possible choices for the four locations to apply the new ointment
Answer:
answer is 3 and ratio of two different numbers
D = 14
1/6d + 2/3 = 1/4d - 1/2
2d + 4*2 = 3d - 6
2d - 3d = -6-8
-d = -14
d = 14
