Answer:
x = 5/2 & x = 1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
Create two equations and solve
1) 2x-5 = 0 & 2) 3x-1 = 0
1) 2x = 5
x = 5/2
2) 3x = 1
x = 1/3
You create two equations as you want the left hand side (LHS) to equal 0 (RHS), thus if one of the brackets becomes 0 it will result in the whole LHS beocming 0 as the brackets are being multiplied (anything multiplied by 0 = 0)
Combination = doesn't matter what order
Permutation = order matters
There are <u>two</u> methods to work out combinations.
Method 1 List out possibilities
123 124 125 126 127 134 135 136 137 145 146 147 156 157 167
234 235 236 237 245 246 247 256 257 267
345 346 347 356 357 367
456 457 467
567
For a total of
35 combinations.
Method 2 Use a formula.
It's a rather complicated one, so only use it if you have a lot of possibilities.

(n is the number of choices, r is the amount you choose, and ! is a function that multiplies together all numbers down to 1)
87.5 percent
Reason: 40/40-5/40 is 35/40. Divide 35/40 and you get 0.875. Multiply by a hundred and you get 87.5%
X=5
is the answer/................
Answer: 7/10
Step-by-step explanation:
2/5+3/10=4/10+3/10=7/10
