Step-by-step explanation:
Let's first count how many ways we can order HIGHNOON without restrictions; this will be the denominator. There are 8 letters, so we have 8!. Then we divide this by 2! * 2! * 2! (the two H's, two N's, and two O's because we are overcounting otherwise):
.
Now, we want to find the number of ways the two H's are not together. But it's easier to do complementary counting, where we count the number of ways what we don't want to occur and subtract that from the total.
Let's put the two H's together like a big bundle and make it the one letter H (bold H to stand for two H's). Then, we are left with 7 "letters", so we have 7!. We still need to divide this by 2! * 2! (the two N's and two O's):
.
Subtract this from 5040: 5040 - 1260 = 3780
So, our probability is 3780/5040 = 3/4. a + b = 7.
Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:
HH I G NN OO
Total possibilities:
8!/(2!×2!×2!) = 5040
H together:
7!/(2!×2!) = 1260
H not together:
5040 - 1260 = 3780
Probability of H not together:
3780/5040
3/4
3 + 4 = 7

6(x - 1)(3x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
18x² - 12x - 6 ← factor out 6 from each term
= 6(3x² - 2x - 1) ← factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term
product = 3 × - 1 = - 3 and sum = - 2
The factors are - 3 and + 1
Use these factors to split the x- term
3x² - 3x + x - 1 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 3x(x - 1) + 1(x - 1) ← factor out (x - 1)
= (x - 1)(3x + 1)
Hence
18x² - 12x - 6 = 6(x - 1)(3x + 1) ← in factored form
