If 28C2r=24C2n-4=125:11 find r That doesn't make any sense. Is 125:11 a ratio? Are you given a value for n? We can't find r if we don't know n. Do you mean to have 2 equal signs? Does 28C2r mean (28C2)r or 28C(2r)? Does 24C2n-4 mean (24C2)(n-4) or (24C2n)-4 or 24C(2n-4)? You can respond in the thank-you note form below if you like: Sorry we couldn't help you. Edwin
