This is a combination problem.
Given:
12 students
3 groups consisting of 4 students.
Mark can't be in the first group.
The combination formula that I used is: n! / r!(n-r)!
where: n = number of choices ; r = number of people to be chosen.
This is the formula I used because the order is not important and repetition is not allowed.
Since Mark can't be considered in the first group, the value of n would be 11 instead of 12. value of r is 4.
numerator: n! = 11! = 39,916,800
denominator: r!(n-r)! = 4!(11-4)! = 4!*7! = 120,960
Combination = 39,916,800 / 120,960 = 330
There are 330 ways that the instructor can choose 4 students for the first group

oki! I hope you don't get banned! But if you come back, that's great! :)
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 4 + 1 = -2x - 5 + 5x
First, simplify 3x - 4 + 1 to 3x - 3. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 3 = -3x - 5 + 5x
Second, simplify -2x - 5 + 5x to 3x - 5. / Your problem should look like: 3x - 3 = 3x - 5
Third, cancel 3x on both sides. / Your problem should look like: -3 = -5
Fourth, since -3 = -5 is false, there is no solution.
Answer: No solution
Answer:
The number of bags used is 2 bags
Step-by-step explanation:
The mass of the jellybeans in the jar = 2 lbs
The mass divided evenly into bags = 1 pound each
Therefore the operation applied to the jar of jellybean is a division by 1 lb/bag, therefore, we have;
The number of bags used = 2 lbs/(1 lb/bag) = 2 bags
