You have to start by using the distributive property. So you take the number next to the parentheses which is “8” and you multiply it with “2x”. This gives you “16x”. Then you multiply “8” with “3” and that gives you “24”. You now have the equation “16x + 24 = 48”.
The next step is to subtract “24” with “48”. This leaves you with “24”. Then you now have “16x = 24” as your new equation. The last step is to divide “16x” with “16”, this cancels it out with itself. Then you divide “24” with “16” and you get 1.5. So “X” equals 1.5 or you can convert it into a fraction witch gives you “3/4”.
the answer is that each side is 6x feet long
Change everything into 10ths as follows:
1/10 + 2.5/10 = 3.5/10 of an hour to make one bracelet. Then change to 20ths so the numerator is a whole number.
Divide your time available by the time it takes to make one.
21
4 = 420= 15 bracelets
7 28
20
(as a whole number there was no fraction or remainder to round off)
<span>When order does not matter you use what is called n choose k formula
n!/(k!(n-k)!) where n is the number of things to choose from and k is the number of choices made, in this case:
20!/(4!(20-4)!)=4845</span>
