Given there are (n + r - 1 / r) combinations from a set containing n different types of elements when repetition of elements is permitted, find the number of non-negative integer solutions to x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 = 18 where x1 ≥ 3 and x3 ≥ 4. Let R be the relation on the set of all positive integers defined by (x, y) ∈ R if x is divisible by y (that is, when x is divided by y the answer is an integer). For each of the following parts of this question provide a reason for your answer. (i) Is R a reflexive relation? (ii) Is R a symmetric relation?

00:01 So what is given to us is x1 plus x2 plus x3 plus x4 plus x5 equals 18 and x1 is greater than or equal to 3 and x3 is greater than or equal to 4 so now let's take x1 dash x1 dash which will be equals to x1 minus 3 and x3 dash so which will be equals to x3 minus 4 so now we can write x1 as x1 dash plus 3 and x3 as x3 x3 dash plus 4 so now we will add this equation to this first equation so now it would be x1 dash plus 3 plus x2 plus x3 dash plus 4 plus x4 plus x5 equals…
