Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If x = 14 is a root then substituting x = 14 into the equation should make both sides equal.

2(14) - 16 = 28 - 16 = 12 ≠ - 44

Thus x = 14 is not a root of the equation

Answer:

U = $\frac{TE}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

T = $\frac{3U}{E}$

Multiply both sides by E to clear the fraction

TE = 3U ( divide both sides by 3 )

$\frac{TE}{3}$ = U

A dance instructor chose four of his 10 students to be on stage for a performance. If order does not matter, in how many differe

This is a combination in which you choose 4 from 10.
The formula is
combinations = 10! / 4! * (10-4)!
combinations = 10! / 4! * 6!
combinations = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6! / 4! * 6!
combinations = 10 * 9 * 8 * 7 / 4 * 3 * 2
combinations = 10 * 3 * 7
combinations = 210
