x-ab=0 x=ab
There are 48 possibilities where 2 of 5 items must be adjacent.If you have 5 items, and they can be arranged in any order, there are 1205 x 4 x 3 x 2 ways to arrange them, for example ABCDE, ABCED, and so forth.However, if any two need to be placed next to each other, the number of variations is reduced to [4 x 3 x 2] x2 (=48), where there are only 4 separate "units" arranged, but the double-unit can appear with either of the pair first.For example, if A and B must be together, you have 24 possibilities:(AB)CDE(AB)CED(AB)DCE(AB)DEC(AB)EDC(AB)ECDC(AB)DEC(AB)EDD(AB)CED(AB)ECE(AB)CDE(AB)DCCD(AB)EDC(AB)ECE(AB)DEC(AB)DDE(AB)CED(AB)CCDE(AB)CED(AB)DEC(AB)DCE(AB)EDC(AB)ECD(AB)and another 24 where (AB) is replaced by (BA).
If, as is normal, ab represents a times b, etc then ab + ab + cc = 2ab + c2 which is generally not the same as abc.
AB/ABCC this can be rewritten as follows:AB/AB * 1/CC, since AB/AB =1 the answer would be 1/CCYou can check the answer by substituting different numbers for A,B,C.
