Using the combination formula, it is found that there are 220 ways to decide which countries to skip.
The order in which the countries are skipped is not important, hence the <em>combination formula </em>is used to solve this question.
<h3>What is the combination formula?</h3>
is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:
In this problem, 3 countries are skipped from a set of 12, hence the number of ways is given by:

The value of x + y is 12
<h3>How to solve for x + y?</h3>
The equation is given as:
x^3 - y^3 = 218
Make x^3 the subject
x^3 = 218 + y^3
The next cubic expression greater than 218 is 343.
So, we assume
x^3 = 343
This gives
x = 7
Substitute x^3 = 343 in x^3 = 218 + y^3
343 = 218 + y^3
Evaluate the like terms
y^3 = 125
This gives
y = 5
So, we have:
x + y = 7 + 5
Evaluate
x + y = 12
Hence, the value of x + y is 12

Answer:
8y^2 (y+2)
Step-by-step explanation:
8y^3 + 16y^2
both terms contain an 8 and a y^2 so we can factor them out
8y^2 (y+2)
4 over 7 because, she takes away a rose card from the total 8 cards she has, but also takes away a card from the total amount of cards.
Then again, I might be wrong :P
