Twenty-four distinguishable balls are to be placed in six boxes.(different boxes) (a) in how many different ways can this be done? (b) in how many different ways can this be done if box 1 must get 12 balls, box 2 must get 7 balls, box 3 must get 5 balls, and boxes 4, 5, and 6 must be empty?

a) 124,596, b) 2142691552.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of distinguishable balls = 24

Number of boxes = 6

(a) In how many different ways can this be done?

(b) In how many different ways can this be done if box 1 must get 12 balls, box 2 must get 7 balls, box 3 must get 5 balls, and boxes 4, 5, and 6 must be empty?

Number of ways would be

Hence, a) 124,596, b) 2142691552.

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≤ x ≤ 40

step-by-step explanation:

20 ≤ x + 15 ≤ 55

subtract 15 from all parts

20-15 ≤ x + 15-15 ≤ 55-15

5 ≤ x ≤ 40

this means how many more cookies he has to make

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies, but no more than 40 cookies; 5 ≤ x ≤ 40
