Team A) 45 people
Team B) 55 people

A)There are two ways to solve this problem, finding the number of combinations possible for Team B, or the number of combinations possible for Team A. 
Team A
It's a given that 20 mathematicians are on team A, which leavs the other 25 people for team A to be chosen from a pool of 80 (100- 20 mathletes)
80-C-25 = 80! / (25!/(80-25)!) =<span>363,413,731,121,503,794,368
</span>or 3.63 x 10^20
Solving using Team B
Same concept, but choosing 55 from a pool of 80 (mathletes excluded)
80-C-25 = 80! / (55!(80-55!) = 363,413,731,121,503,794,368
or 3.63 x 10^20

As you can, we get the same answer for both. 

B)
If none of the mathematicians are on team A, then we exclude the 20 and choose 45:
80-C-45 = 80! / (45!(80-45)!) = <span>5,790,061,984,745,3606,481,440
or 5.79 x 10^22

Note that, if you solve from the perspective of Team B (80-C-35), you get the same answer</span>

Gabriella and her children went into a restaurant where they sell hotdogs for $4 each and tacos for $2 each. Gabriella has $30 t
Lorico [155]

A possible solution to the inequality is 2 hotdogs and 8 tacos.

Let x represents the number of hotdogs purchased and y represents the number of tacos purchased.

Gabriella has $30 to spend and must buy a minimum of 9 hotdogs and tacos altogether.

Hence:

4x + 2y ≤ 30    (1)

x + y ≥ 9      (2)

Also:

x ≥ 2   (3)

A possible solution to the inequality is 2 hotdogs and 8 tacos.

In the given figure, if a:b=10:13, then /_xoy equals.​
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

2x + 7 = 3x - 7

3x - 2x = 7 + 7

x = 14

2x + 7 + 12y + 1 = 180

2(14) + 12y + 8 = 180

28 + 12y + 8 = 180

36 + 12y = 180

12y = 180 - 36 = 144

y = 144/12 = 12

x = 14, y = 12

I don’t know how to solve this
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

y = \frac{1}{4} x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) =( 8, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 5)

m = \frac{-5+3}{0-8} = \frac{-2}{-8} = \frac{1}{4}

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, - 5 ) ⇒ c = - 5

y = \frac{1}{4} x - 5 ← equation of line
