    As a project, haseeb wants to make a linear collage of photos of his friends. He creates a template with 20 spaces in a row. If haseeb has 5 identical photos of each of 4 friends, in how many ways can he make his collage?

    AMHD doesn't do homework. You would learn nothing if you merely copied the answer.

    Post your answer, your formula, and someone will come along to look at it.

    Have you ever solved a problem like this before?

    Do you have this question too? --

    Malik wants to skateboard over to visit his friend Gord who lives six blocks away. Gord's house is two blocks west and four blocks north of Malik's house. Each time Malik goes over, he likes to take a different route. How many different routes are there for Malik if he only travels west or north?

    Attitude like that will get you no help! We help, but not free answers. You need to have good manners and apologize.

    I didn't see it but thank you for cutting and pasting - have to wonder what it takes to get suspended from AMHD.

    Sorry, the teacher in me wants to come out! I can't let something like that pass by without an admonishment. Maybe we should start a forum for bad mannered kiddos, and we can all try to teach proper behavior?

    It is vivid evidence of the entitlement gene that is now running through the generations.

    The reason I stopped teaching high school a while back. A conference with parents, if they showed up, did nothing.

    And this explains how kids even if they do make it to graduation.. can barely read, or do basic math... because they cheated their way through school (and likely cheated on their tests) rather than actually learn the material despite the efforts of the teachers.

    Yes, I have done this kind of problem, I find this quite easy to do, but just the question that I asked, I think the answer at the back of my text book is wrong then.

    People will call you many things during your lifetime. Learn how to allow those words to not affect you. If you are doing the right thing the right way, name-calling will not make a difference. Be confident and learn how to ask for help in productive ways.

    And if you ask anyone here or anywhere else for help, be prepared to show what work you have already done. No one wants to help any lazy person who won't even try.

    No I did try, and then I looked for a website that could maybe help me by showing me a few steps.

    So, in the end, after three pages of posting, are you any further along?

    (And you have learned something about life too!)

    I'm the one you answered - with a profanity. Please quote the "bad word" I used toward you.

    I'm not seeing it, and nothing has been removed.

    Actually, it was me. He answered you with that off-the-wall number and I called him a smart-a$$... this is what he is referring to. I see that it was removed.
