Pl! A suitcase lock has a code 4 symbols long. The symbols on the lock are a star, a square, a circle, a triangle, a line, and a pentagon. What is the probability that a randomly chosen code starts with a star followed by triangle and doesn't contain the same symbol twice? Enter your answer as a fraction in simplest form.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 symbols and 4-symbol code so number of combinations wich doesn't contain the same symbol twice would be:

6•5•4•3 = 360

If code starts with a star followed by triangle that means only one posibility for first two symbols and code doesn't containing the same symbol twice means that left 4 symbols for next two.

So number of combinations of code starting with a star followed by triangle and doesn't containing the same symbol twice will be:

1•1•4•3 = 12

The probability that a randomly chosen code starts with a star followed by triangle and doesn't contain the same symbol twice:

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
