The senate in a certain state is comprised of 55 republicans, 42 democrats, and 3 independents. how many committees can be formed if each committee must have 3 republicans and 2 democrats?

+25 = x

step-by-step explanation:

here x is the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 7 and 24.   by the pythagorean theorem, 7² + 24² must equal x²:

x² = 49 + 576 = 625.   thus, x = +√625 = +25 = x

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
