Hello, I'm currently enrolled in a Criminal Justice program and my course is Business Algebra. I am retaking this course a third tie because I can't seem to find any help. If you can help me, I would would greatly appreciate it. I will list some examples of what my university is expecting me to understand and simplify. Once again, thank you who or whomever you are. Appreciate it very much.

Ex. # 2: A) How many ways can a 4-person subcommittee be selected from a committee of 7 people?
