Probability-and-statistics/551818: How many ways can five women and two men can be seated on a chair if only three seats?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
There are 5+2 = 7 people total and P(7,3) = (7!)/(7-3)! = (7!)/(4!) = 5040/24 = 210 ways to seat all of them in 3 seats (assuming order matters).


If order doesn't matter, then there are C(7,3) = (P(7,3))/(3!) = 210/6 = 35 different ways to seat them.

8%282x-3%29=-16 Start with the given equation.


16x-24=-16 Distribute.


16x=-16%2B24 Add 24 to both sides.


16x=8 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%288%29%2F%2816%29 Divide both sides by 16 to isolate x.


x=1%2F2 Reduce.

Linear-systems/547475: 2x+y=5 2x+y=1
1 solutions

Answer 359937 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2012-01-02 14:13:17 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Start with the given system of equations:
system%282x%2By=5%2C2x%2By=1%29


-1%282x%2By%29=-1%281%29 Multiply the both sides of the second equation by -1.


-2x-1y=-1 Distribute and multiply.


So we have the new system of equations:
system%282x%2By=5%2C-2x-1y=-1%29


Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:


%282x%2By%29%2B%28-2x-1y%29=%285%29%2B%28-1%29


%282x%2B-2x%29%2B%281y%2B-1y%29=5%2B-1 Group like terms.


0x%2B0y=4 Combine like terms.


0=4Simplify.


Since 0=4 is never true, this means that there are no solutions.

So the system is inconsistent.

4%282z-5%29=7%28z%2B5%29 Start with the given equation.


8z-20=7z%2B35 Distribute.


8z=7z%2B35%2B20 Add 20 to both sides.


8z-7z=35%2B20 Subtract 7z from both sides.


z=35%2B20 Combine like terms on the left side.


z=55 Combine like terms on the right side.


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

Answer:

So the solution is z=55

"three times a number less than five is thirty two" translates to 5-3x=32

5-3x=32 Start with the given equation.


-3x=32-5 Subtract 5 from both sides.


-3x=27 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%2827%29%2F%28-3%29 Divide both sides by -3 to isolate x.


x=-9 Reduce.


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

Answer:

So the solution is x=-9

f(x)=2x+8

%285-6i%29%2A%281-i%29 Start with the given expression.


%285%29%281%29%2B%285%29%28-i%29%2B%28-6i%29%281%29%2B%28-6i%29%28-i%29 FOIL.


5-5i-6i%2B6i%5E2 Multiply.


5-5i-6i%2B6%28-1%29 Replace i%5E2 with -1. Note: i%5E2=-1.


5-5i-6i-6 Multiply.


-1-11i Combine like terms.


So %285-6i%29%2A%281-i%29=-1-11i.


So the expression is now in standard form a%2Bbi where a=-1 and b=-11

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
"the second of two numbers is 4 more than the first" ---> y=x%2B4

"the sum of the numbers is 56" ---> x%2By=56

----------------
x%2By=56

x%2Bx%2B4=56

2x%2B4=56

2x=56-4

2x=52

x=52%2F2

x=26

--------
y=x%2B4

y=26%2B4

y=30


So the two numbers are 26 and 30

Word_Problems_With_Coins/551805: there are a total of 26 nickels and dimes in a bank. the value equals $1.65. how many dimes are in the bank?
1 solutions

Answer 359915 by jim_thompson5910(28476) About Me  on 2012-01-02 13:41:39 (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
26*0.05 + 0.10x = 1.65

1.30 + 0.10x = 1.65

0.10x = 1.65 - 1.30

0.10x = 0.35

x = 0.35/(0.10)

x = 3.5

Since we got a non-integer value, this means that we cannot get $1.65 in the bank. So there must be a typo.

(-g)^3(-g)^2


(-g^3)(g^2)


-g^5


So (-g)^3(-g)^2 = -g^5 for every value of 'g'

Polynomials-and-rational-expressions/551510: Megan factored the expression 28x^2 + x - 15 as (4x-3)(7x+5). But when Jacob applied the FOIL principle and multiplied out (4x-3)(7x+5), he got 28x^2 - x - 15; thus, Megan’s solution does not appear to check. Why is that? Please help Megan to understand this better. Explain your reasoning and correctly factor the original expression, if possible. If the expression is prime, so state.

Looking at the expression 28x%5E2%2Bx-15, we can see that the first coefficient is 28, the second coefficient is 1, and the last term is -15.


Now multiply the first coefficient 28 by the last term -15 to get %2828%29%28-15%29=-420.


Now the question is: what two whole numbers multiply to -420 (the previous product) and add to the second coefficient 1?


To find these two numbers, we need to list all of the factors of -420 (the previous product).


Factors of -420:
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,12,14,15,20,21,28,30,35,42,60,70,84,105,140,210,420
-1,-2,-3,-4,-5,-6,-7,-10,-12,-14,-15,-20,-21,-28,-30,-35,-42,-60,-70,-84,-105,-140,-210,-420


Note: list the negative of each factor. This will allow us to find all possible combinations.


These factors pair up and multiply to -420.
1*(-420) = -420
2*(-210) = -420
3*(-140) = -420
4*(-105) = -420
5*(-84) = -420
6*(-70) = -420
7*(-60) = -420
10*(-42) = -420
12*(-35) = -420
14*(-30) = -420
15*(-28) = -420
20*(-21) = -420
(-1)*(420) = -420
(-2)*(210) = -420
(-3)*(140) = -420
(-4)*(105) = -420
(-5)*(84) = -420
(-6)*(70) = -420
(-7)*(60) = -420
(-10)*(42) = -420
(-12)*(35) = -420
(-14)*(30) = -420
(-15)*(28) = -420
(-20)*(21) = -420

Now let's add up each pair of factors to see if one pair adds to the middle coefficient 1:


First NumberSecond NumberSum
1-4201+(-420)=-419
2-2102+(-210)=-208
3-1403+(-140)=-137
4-1054+(-105)=-101
5-845+(-84)=-79
6-706+(-70)=-64
7-607+(-60)=-53
10-4210+(-42)=-32
12-3512+(-35)=-23
14-3014+(-30)=-16
15-2815+(-28)=-13
20-2120+(-21)=-1
-1420-1+420=419
-2210-2+210=208
-3140-3+140=137
-4105-4+105=101
-584-5+84=79
-670-6+70=64
-760-7+60=53
-1042-10+42=32
-1235-12+35=23
-1430-14+30=16
-1528-15+28=13
-2021-20+21=1



From the table, we can see that the two numbers -20 and 21 add to 1 (the middle coefficient).


So the two numbers -20 and 21 both multiply to -420 and add to 1


Now replace the middle term 1x with -20x%2B21x. Remember, -20 and 21 add to 1. So this shows us that -20x%2B21x=1x.


28x%5E2%2Bhighlight%28-20x%2B21x%29-15 Replace the second term 1x with -20x%2B21x.


%2828x%5E2-20x%29%2B%2821x-15%29 Group the terms into two pairs.


4x%287x-5%29%2B%2821x-15%29 Factor out the GCF 4x from the first group.


4x%287x-5%29%2B3%287x-5%29 Factor out 3 from the second group. The goal of this step is to make the terms in the second parenthesis equal to the terms in the first parenthesis.


%284x%2B3%29%287x-5%29 Combine like terms. Or factor out the common term 7x-5


===============================================================


Answer:


So 28x%5E2%2Bx-15 factors to %284x%2B3%29%287x-5%29.


In other words, 28x%5E2%2Bx-15=%284x%2B3%29%287x-5%29.


Note: you can check the answer by expanding %284x%2B3%29%287x-5%29 to get 28x%5E2%2Bx-15 or by graphing the original expression and the answer (the two graphs should be identical).

-11-%28x%2B30%29=41-2%285x-18%29 Start with the given equation.


-11-x-30=41-10x%2B36 Distribute.


-x-41=41-10x%2B36 Combine like terms on the left side.


-x-41=-10x%2B77 Combine like terms on the right side.


-x=-10x%2B77%2B41 Add 41 to both sides.


-x%2B10x=77%2B41 Add 10x to both sides.


9x=77%2B41 Combine like terms on the left side.


9x=118 Combine like terms on the right side.


x=%28118%29%2F%289%29 Divide both sides by 9 to isolate x.


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

Answer:

So the solution is x=118%2F9
