Problem 10
(a) A teacher selects a team of three from a group of students. She also
selects a team of two (students can be in more than one team). The
teacher notices that there are twice as many ways of choosing the
team of three as there are the team of two. How many students are
in the group?
(b) For another group of students, there are three times as many teams
of three which can be selected as there are teams of two. How many
teams of three can be selected from this group?
Using the combination formula, it is found that:
a) There are 8 students in the group.b) 165 teams of three can be selected from this group.---------------------------
The order in which the students are chosen is not important, which means that the combination formula is used to solve this question.
Combination formula:
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.
[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]
---------------------------
Question a:
3 students from a set of n, thus: [tex]C_{n,3}[/tex]2 students from a set of n, thus: [tex]C_{n,2}[/tex]Twice as many ways to choose the teams of 3 than the teams of 2, thus:
[tex]C_{n,3} = 2C_{n,2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{n!}{3!(n-3)!} = 2\frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}[/tex]
We have to solve for n, thus:
[tex]2!n!(n-2)! = 2(3!)(n!)(n-3)![/tex]
[tex](n-2)! = 3!(n-3)![/tex]
From the factorial concept: [tex](n-2)! = (n-2)(n-3)![/tex], thus:
[tex](n-2)! = 3!(n-3)![/tex]
[tex](n-2)(n-3)! = 3!(n-3)![/tex]
[tex]n - 2 = 3![/tex]
[tex]n - 2 = 6[/tex]
[tex]n = 8[/tex]
There are 8 students in the group.
---------------------------
Question b:
First we have to find the total number of students, using the same logic as item a.
[tex]C_{n,3} = 2C_{n,2}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{n!}{3!(n-3)!} = 3\frac{n!}{2!(n-2)!}[/tex]
[tex]2!n!(n-2)! = 3n!3!(n-3)![/tex]
[tex]2(n-2)(n-3)! = 18(n-3)![/tex]
[tex]n - 2 = 9[/tex]
[tex]n = 11[/tex]
---------------------------
The number of teams of three is:
[tex]C_{11,3} = \frac{11!}{3!8!} = 165[/tex]
165 teams of three can be selected from this group.

A wood board 59 inches long is cut into three parts. The first part is twice the
length of the second part. The third part is 5 less than the second part. How long
are the three parts?
Answer:
first part is 32 inches, second part is 16 inches, third part is 11 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x + x + x - 5 = 59
4x + 64
x = 16.
we can then plug 16 in first parts expression, 2x, for 32. second part is just x so 16. 3rd part is 5 less, x-5, so 11.

Explain how you can use absolute value to tell whether
the sum of two integers is positive or negative.
Answer:
Let the integers are p and q.
In case both integers are positive or negative, you add the numbers up and apply their sign to the sum.
Examples:
10 + 88 = 98-20 + (-15) = -35In case one of the integers is negative and one positive.
p < 0, q > 0Use absolute value in this case.
Subtract the numbers and apply the sign of the number with the greater absolute value.
Examples:
- 10 + 15 = |15 - 10| = |5| = 5- 15 + 10 = - |15 - 10| = - |5| = -5Step-by-step explanation:
Let the numbers be x and y
If both are of same signs then
|x + y| = x + y
-|x + y| = -(x + y) = -x - y
If one is negative and one is positive
-|x + (-y)| = -|x - y| = -x + y
-|y + (-x)| = -|y - x| = -y + x

Answer:
47. n = -3
48. n = -15
49. n = -13/3
50. n = -17/3
Step-by-step explanation:
47.
6n + 4n = -30, so 10n = -30. Dividing by 10 on both sides, we get that n = -3.
48.
6n - 4n = -30, so 2n = -30. Dividing by 2 on both sides, we get that n = -15.
49.
6n - 4 = -30, so 6n = -26. Dividing by 6 on both sides, we get that n = -13/3.
50.
6n + 4 = -30, so 6n = -34. Dividing by 6 on both sides, we get that n = -17/3.

Step-by-step explanation:
60 CHALLENGE The Queen Isabella Memorial Bridge connects South Padre Island, Texas, to
Port Isabel on the mainland. Suppose one crew began building from South Padre Island,
and another crew began building from Port Isabel. The two crews met 6256.5 feet from the
South Padre Island side of the bridge approximately 2.5 years after construction began.
a. Suppose the South Padre Island crew built an average of 208.5 feet per month.
Together the two crews built 12,513 feet of bridge. Determine the average number of
feet built per month by the Port Isabel crew.
307
b. About how many miles of bridge did each crew build?
c. Is this answer reasonable? Explain.
2,513
With some give information, we need to solve some algebraic problems that involve a change of units, lets see step by step how we do that:
A) First, we know that:
The bridge was constructed in 2.5 years
Knowing that 1 year = 12 months, we can rewrite:
2.5 years = (2.5)*(12 montsh) = 28 months
The two crews built, together, 12,513 ft of the bridge.
Now, we know that the South Padre Island crew built an average of 208.5 per month.
Then in the 28 months for the whole construction, they built 28 times that amount:
D = (28 months)*(208.5 per month) = 5,838 ft
Then the rest was constructed by the Port Isabel Crew.
They constructed 12,513 ft - 5,838 ft = 6,675ft
So that crew constructed 6,675 ft in 28 months, then the average number of feet built per month (the quotient between the total amount built and the number of months in which that was built) is:
6,675 ft/28 months = 238.39 ft per month.
b)
South Padre Island crew constructed 5,838 ft
Port Isabel Crew constructed 6,675ft
Now we want to transform these to miles.
Remember that;
1 mille = 5280 ft.
Then to transform from ft to miles, we just need to divide our measures by 5280 ft
Then:
South Padre Island crew constructed 5,838 ft = (5,838ft/5280ft) mi = 1.11 mi
Port Isabel Crew constructed 6,675ft = (6,675ft/5280ft) mi = 1.26 mi
c) Is this answer reasonable?
Mathematically, yes, both crews constructed about the same in about the same time, with a small difference that may be related to the sizes of each crew or something like that.
We could conclude that this would not be reasonable if the monthly rates were dramatically different.

Hey there! I'm happy to help!
We see that all of our y-values go negative and our x-values stay the same. It isn't a rotation because then our x-values will switch, but they haven't switched in our problem, so A and D are incorrect.
Reflecting over the line y=x is just reflecting over a diagonal line, and that will switch the x-value as well.
The correct answer is B. reflect over the x-axis. All of the x-values stay the same here, but the y-values are all on the other side of the x-axis, so they are all negative now, and this matches the change we see with our points.

Karima earns $400 per week plus a holiday bonus of $250. Write an expression to represent the total amount she earns after working w weeks. Then, find the amount she earns after she works 4, 12, and 36 weeks.
Expression:
Earnings at 4 weeks:
Earnings at 12 weeks:
Earnings at 36 weeks:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Earnings per week = $ 400
Earning for 'w' week = 400*w + holiday bonus
= 400w + 250
Earnings at 4 weeks = 400*4 + 250
= 1600 + 250
= $ 1850
Earnings at 12 weeks = 400*12 + 250
= 4800 + 250
= $ 5050
Earnings at 36 weeks = 400*36 + 250
= 14400 + 250
= $ 14650

A bag has 3 red marbles, 2 blue, 4 greens and 1 yellow. What is the probability of pulling a blue, putting it back
in the jar and then pull a green?
Show Your Work
Answer: 2/25
Step-by-step explanation: Since we are replacing the marbles, these two events are independent which means that the outcome of the first does not affect the outcome of the second.
First find the probability of selecting a blue marble.
There are 2 favorable outcomes, the blue marbles,
and 10 possible outcomes, all the marbles in the bag.
So the probability of selecting a blue marble is 2/10 or 1/5.
Always reduce when finding probability
Now we find the probability of selecting a green marble.
There are 4 green marbles and 10 total so the probability of
selecting a green marble is 4/10 or 2/5.
Now we multiply the probabilities.
So we have 1/5 x 2/5 or 2/25.

6(3c−5d+6)=6, left parenthesis, 3, c, minus, 5, d, plus, 6, right parenthesis, equals
distributive property
In this problem, the distributive property is very important, but there is another thing that we can look at to make this much easier. We notice that the terms on the left are being multiplied by 6. We can rewrite the right side so that it is also a multiple of 6:
6(3c - 5d + 6) = 6(1)
Now, we can divide both sides by 6, and we get:
6(3c - 5d + 6) = 6(1)
3c - 5d + 6 = 1
3c - 5d = -5
