We first must calculate how many ways 2 oblects can be chosen from 5.

combinations = 5! / 2! * (5-2)!

combinations = 5*4 / 2

combinations = 10


There are 10 ways to choose the 2 buttons and 5 ways to choose the final butto so there are 10 * 5 = 50 different ways.

Ian has 20 football cards, and Jason has 44 baseball cards. They agree to trade such that jason
Alina [70]

Answer:

12 trades

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call 'x' the number of trades they will do.

After each trade, the number of cards Ian has increase by 1 (he gives 1 but receives 2), and the number of cards Jason has decrease by 1 (he receives 1 but gives 2), so after x trades, the number of cards Ian has is 20 + x, and Jason has 44 - x.

To find the number of trades when they will have the same amount of cards, we have that:

20 + x = 44 - x

2x = 24

x = 12 trades

Two runners are saving money to attend a marathon. The first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and
scoundrel [369]

Answer:

The correct answer is the last option, that is, 112 + 25m + 45 = 50 + 60m

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that the first runner has $112 in savings, received a $45 gift from a friend, and will save $25 each month. Therefore, amount of money in the account of first running after m months will be: 112+45+25m

We have been given that the second runner has $50 in savings and will save $60 each month. Therefore, amount of money in the account of second running after m months will be: 50 + 60m

In order for amount of money to be equal in accounts of both the runners, we set up:

112+45+25m=50+60m

Upon rewriting the left hand side using commutative law, we get:

112+25m+45=50+60m

Therefore, we can see that the last option is the correct answer.

WILL GIVE BRANLIEST!!! Pls help! Determine the coordinates of the point on the straight line y=3x+1 that is equidistant from the
iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}

Now , these distance are equal :

h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2

Solving above equation , we get :

P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})

Hence , this is the required solution.
