There are C(26,6) ways to arrange 20 x's and 6 + signs in a row<br />
each of which will produce a different solution to the equation

Thanks ozo. Can you please tell me why there is 7 rows group and then its going to 6 rows group

That shows a good understanding of math. I'm no math expert, so it took some thought to see how it applied. But it's an excellent restatement of the problem. Nice.<br />

I'm not sure what you mean. &nbsp;there are always 7 groups of x's separated by +'s<br />
(some of the groups may contain 0 x's, as long as the number of x's is a non-negative integer)

I think I understand what you mean now.<br />
There are 7 examples of &quot;If any one of them = 20, then all the rest are 0&quot; and 6 examples of &quot;If A = 19, then one of them = 1 and the rest are 0.&quot;

Hi guys: Can any one please explain this question? Thanks<br />
<br />
How many solutions (using only non-negative integers) are there to the following equation ?<br />
x1+x2+x3+x4+x5+x6+x7=20<br />
<br />
Ans: C(26,6)=230,230<br />

Using only non negative numbers

The Math / Science topic primarily includes discussions of mathematics, physics, statistics and economic analysis, but also biology, chemistry and other sciences.

Math / Science

A miscellany is defined as a "collection of various pieces of writing by different authors", but it has come to mean something "Of items gathered or considered together of various types or from different sources" or "a collection or group composed of members or elements of different kinds". The word "miscellaneous" comes from the Latin word "miscere", meaning "to mix." You might have heard the expression "a mixed bag," which applies when you don't quite know what you're going to get. More commonly, a miscellaneous group is made up of an odd group of things that don't fit anywhere else.
