From a set of seven math books, nine science books, and five literature books, in how many ways can a student select two from each set?

There are 7 math books, 9 science books and 5 literature books. Student has to select 2 books from each set.

This is a combination problem.

Number of ways to select 2 math books from 7 books = 7C2 = 21
Number of ways to select 2 science books from 9 books = 9C2 = 36
Number of ways to select 2 literature books from 5 books = 5C2 = 10

Total number of ways to select 2 books from each set = 21 x 36 x 10 = 7560 ways.

So there are 7560 ways to select 2 books from each set of seven math books, nine science books, and five literature books

I’m going to infer you said parallel.solve for yy= -1/2x+7/4lines that are parallel have the same slope, different y intercept.so we know m is -1/2then from there solve for y intercept.
