A group of eight people are attending the movies together. a. Two of the eight insist on sitting side by side. In how many ways can the eight be seated together in a row?
b. Two of the people do not like each other and do not want to sit side-by-side. Now how many ways can the eight be seated together in a row?

hope this !

answer: the proof is mentioned below.

step-by-step explanation:

since, given:   lines bc = ef

prove:   lines ac > ef

          statements                                           reason

1. bc=ef                                           1. given

2. ac= ab+bc                                 2. because b is the point between the  

                                                            line segment ac

3.   ac > bc                                       3. because if a line segment is equal to

                                                          the sum of two line segments then it is

                                                          always greater then each of these

                                                          individual line segments

4. ac > ef                                         4. by equality property.
