30 former classmates gathered to celebrate the anniversary of their school graduation. Each of them greeted and shook hands with every other without any exceptions how many handshakes were exchanged when everyone was finished?Note: When person A shakes with person B, person B is also shaking with person A. It is counted as one handshake.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: Let's pick one person at random and call it the 'first'.

That person shakes hands with 29 other classmates.

Take another person different from the first, we'll call him the 'second'. Since he has already shaken hands with the first, he shakes hands with 28 other classmates.

The 'third' person will likewise shake hands with 27 other classmates, and so on.

Hence, the total number of handshakes is 29+28+27+...+2+1 = 29*30/2=435 handshakes
Answer 2
Answer:
The answer is 435 handshakes when everyone was finished. I hope this is correct.

If 15 is the fifth number in a series of five consecutive odd numbers what is the third number in the series ?What is the answer is 11 or 9 ?? I think it's 11.  What is yr answer ??

Answers

It doesn't matter how many there are altogether.

All you need to know is that 15 is the fifth odd number,
and you need the third odd number. 

So the one you want is 2 odd numbers back from 15.  That's 11 .
15 - 5th\n 13 - 4th\n \boxed{11} - 3rd

Find last year's salary if, after a 5% pay raise, this year's salary is $38,325?

Answers

To answer the question above,
This means that
This year my salary is: 105% ( up 5% from 100%) ;
Salary = $31500 
and last year. 100% ( base year) ; Let the Salary = $x 

Now let us solve, 
x / 100 = 31500/105 
so x = 31500 * 100/105 =
$30 000
I hope my answer helped you I've included the formula on how I got the answer.
5% of 38325 is 1916.25 

subtract the answer from this years salary 

38325 
- 1916.25 
 that would be 36408.75

now add comma and dollar sign and  last year's salary is $36,408.75

What is the answer to this 17x-9(x+4)=3x-26

Answers

17x - 9(x + 4) = 3x - 26

First, expand to remove parentheses.
17x - 9x - 36 = 3x - 26
Second, subtract 17x - 9x to get 8x.
8x - 36 = 3x - 26
Third, add 36 to both sides. 
8x = 3x - 26 + 36
Fourth, simplify.
8x = 3x + 10
Fifth, subtract 3x from both sides.
8x - 3x = 10
Sixth, subtract 8x - 3x.
5x = 10
Seventh, divide both sides by 5.
x =  (10)/(5)
Eighth, since 2 goes into 5 to get 10, simplify the fraction to 2.
x = 2

Answer: x = 2
