8 0

Answer:

x = your number

3 / ( x + 8 ) = 2 / ( x + 3 )

Cross multiply

3 ∙ ( x + 3 ) = ( x + 8 ) ∙ 2

3 x + 9 = 2 x + 16

Subtract 2 x to both sides

x + 9 = 16

Subtract 9 to both sides

x = 7

A test of 10 different types of candy are being tested. If a person is given 6 of the candies to taste how many combinations are

ASHA 777 [7]

There are 210 different possible combinations

<h3>How to determine the number of possible combinations?</h3>

The given parameters are:

Types of candy, n = 10
Candies to taste, r = 6

The number of possible combinations is calculated using:

Combination = nCr

This gives

Combination = 10C6

Apply the combination formula

Combination = (10!)/((10 - 6)!6!)

Evaluate

Combination = 210

Hence, there are 210 different possible combinations
