Step-by-step explanation:

x = mass of apples

y = mass of strawberries

z = mass of the box

x = 3y

x + z = 16240

y + z = 6350

let's subtract the second from the first equation

x + z = 16240

- y + z = 6350

-----------------------

x - y + 0 = 9890

using the first identity in that result gives us

3y - y = 9890

2y = 9890

y = 4,945 g

x = 3y = 3×4945 = 14,835 g = the mass of the apples

Suppose we want to choose 5 colors, without replacement, from 8 distinct colors.1. If the order is relevant, how many can be don
Charra [1.4K]

(1) From the information given, if we want to choose 5 colors from 8 distinct colors and the order in which the selection is made is relevant, then what we have is a permutation.

The formula is given as;

nP_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!}

This formula means we need to select/arrange r items out of a total of n items and the anwer derived would be the total number of arrangements possible.

Therefore, we would have;

\begin{gathered} nP_r\Rightarrow_8P_5 \\ _8P_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!}\Rightarrow\frac{8!}{3!} \\ _8P_5=\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{3\times2\times1}\Rightarrow\frac{40320}{6} \\ _8P_5=6720 \end{gathered}

Therefore, if the order is relevant, this selection can be done in 6,720 ways.

(2) If the order is NOT relevant, then what we need to calculate is a combination and the formula is;

_nC_r=\frac{n!}{(n-r)!r!}

The formula can now be applied as follows;

\begin{gathered} _nC_r\Rightarrow_8C_5 \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{(8-5)!\times5!} \\ _8C_5=\frac{8!}{3!\times5!}\Rightarrow\frac{8\times7\times6\times\ldots1}{(3\times2\times1)\times(5\times4\times\ldots1)} \\ _8C_5=\frac{40320}{6\times120} \\ _8C_5=56 \end{gathered}

If the order is not relevant, then the selection can be done in 56 ways.

1. Choose the graph that represents the equation y = -x] - 1.
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

x=−y−1

Step-by-step explanation:

y=−x−1

Step 1: Flip the equation.

−x−1=y

Step 2: Add 1 to both sides.

−x−1+1=y+1

−x=y+1

Step 3: Divide both sides by -1.

−x

−1

=

y+1

−1

x=−y−1
