Answer:

1 solution, 0

Step-by-step explanation:

In algebra, a variable can be equal to any amount of numbers depending on how it is used. In this case, m is only equal to the one value of 8, and therefore only has <u>one solution.</u>

m - 8

(8) - 8

NEED HELP ASAP!!! ON A KHAN ACADEMY TEST AND DON"T HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT!!! CORRECT ANSWER GETS BRAINLIEST!!!

Otrada [13]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

This is correct, except that if you have two variables you will need two equations. The other equation (the easy one!) was x+ y = 100, from which you might want to solve for y = 100-x, and substitute into the other equation to get:

.30x + .02(100-x) = .04(100)

.30x + 2 - .02x = 4

.28x = 2

x = 2/.28 = 50/7 or approximately 7.14 gallons of cream

100-x = 92 6/7 or approximately 92.86 gallons of 2%

Emily collected $950 selling Girl Scout cookies all day Saturday. Emily's troop collected 10 times as much as she did. How much

LuckyWell [14K]

Since the troop made 10 times her then you multiply 950 by 10 and that will give you 9510

A store sells 8 colors of balloons with at least 28 of each color. How many different combinations of 28 balloons can be chosen?

Len [333]

Answer:

(a) $Selection = 6724520$

(b) $At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

(c) $At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

(d) $At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Colors = 8$

$Balloons = 28$ --- at least

Solving (a): 28 combinations

From the question, we understand that; a combination of 28 is to be selected. Because the order is not important, we make use of combination.

Also, because repetition is allowed; different balloons of the same kind can be selected over and over again.

So:

$n => 28 + 8-1$ $= 35$

$r = 28$

$Selection = ^{35}^C_{28$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{(35 - 28)!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29*28!}{7!28!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7!}$

$Selection = \frac{35*34*33*32*31*30*29}{7*6*5*4*3*2*1}$

$Selection = \frac{33891580800}{5040}$

$Selection = 6724520$

Solving (b): At most 12 red balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 13 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 15 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13)

So:

$n => 15 + 8 -1 = 22$

$r = 15$

Selection of at least 13 =

$At\ least\ 13 = ^{22}C_{15}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{(22-15)!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = \frac{22!}{7!15!}$

$At\ least\ 13 = 170544$

Ways of selecting at most 12 =

$At\ most\ 12 = Total - At\ least\ 13$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 12 = 6724520- 170544$

$At\ most\ 12 = 6553976$

Solving (c): At most 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways of selecting at least 9 balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 19 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 9)

So:

$n => 19+ 8 -1 = 26$

$r = 19$

Selection of at least 9 =

$At\ least\ 9 = ^{26}C_{19}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{(26-19)!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = \frac{26!}{7!19!}$

$At\ least\ 9 = 657800$

Ways of selecting at most 8 =

$At\ most\ 8 = Total - At\ least\ 9$ --- Complement rule

$At\ most\ 8 = 6724520- 657800$

$At\ most\ 8 = 6066720$

Solving (d): 12 red and 8 blue balloons

First, we calculate the ways for selecting 13 red balloons and 9 blue balloons

Out of the 28 balloons, there are 6 balloons remaining (i.e. 28 - 13 - 9)

So:

$n =6+6-1 = 11$

$r = 6$

Selection =

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{(11-6)!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = \frac{11!}{5!6!}$

$^{11}C_6 = 462$

Using inclusion/exclusion rule of two sets:

$Selection = At\ most\ 12 + At\ most\ 8 - (12\ red\ and\ 8\ blue)$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 170544+ 657800- 462$

$Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue\ = 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = Total - Only\ 12\ red\ and\ only\ 8\ blue$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 6724520 - 827882$

$At\ most\ 12\ red\ and\ at\ most\ 8\ blue = 5896638$
