There are 720 different ways to arrange the books.

<h3>In how many ways we can order the books?</h3>

Here we know that there are a total of 7 books, 3 of math and 4 of sciences.

We know that the 3 math books must be together, so first let's analyze this element.

The number of permutations of these 3 books is 3! = 3*2*1 = 6

Now we have 5 elements, 4 books of science and a "group of math books."

So there are 5 positions in which the group of math books can be, and for the four science books we have 4! = 4*3*2*1 = 24 permutations.

The total number of different combinations is given by the product of the numbers we found above:

<em>combinations  = (permutations of math)*(possible positions of math)*(permutations of science).</em>

Combinations = 6*5*24 = 720

3x - 1/4y = -2<br> (1/4 is a fraction, solve for y)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

y = 12x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 3x - 1/4y = -2

Subtract 3x from both sides

2. -1/4y = -2 - 3x

The equation is in standard form.

3. -1/4y = -3x - 3

Multiply both sides by -4

4. Check photo for step 4

Divide by -1/4 = -0.25 undoes the multiplication -1/4 = -0.25

5. y = (-3x-2) / (-1/4)

Divide -2 - 3x by -1/4 = -0.25 by multiplying -2 - 3x by the reciprocal of -1/4 = -0.25

y = 12x + 8
