The correct Answer is:
To solve the equation \[ \binom{n}{n - r + 3} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{n - r + 1} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{n - r + 2} + \binom{n}{n - r + 3} = \binom{x}{r}, \] we will simplify the left-hand side using properties of combinations. ### Step 1: Rewrite the combinations First, we can rewrite the combinations using the property \(\binom{n}{k} = \binom{n}{n-k}\): \[ \binom{n}{n - r + 3} = \binom{n}{r - 3}, \quad \binom{n}{n - r + 1} = \binom{n}{r - 1}, \quad \binom{n}{n - r + 2} = \binom{n}{r - 2}. \] Thus, we can rewrite the equation as: \[ \binom{n}{r - 3} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{r - 1} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{r - 2} + \binom{n}{r - 3} = \binom{x}{r}. \] ### Step 2: Combine like terms Now, combine the terms: \[ 2 \cdot \binom{n}{r - 3} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{r - 1} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{r - 2} = \binom{x}{r}. \] ### Step 3: Use the Hockey Stick Identity We can apply the Hockey Stick Identity, which states: \[ \binom{n}{k} + \binom{n}{k+1} + \ldots + \binom{n}{m} = \binom{n+1}{m+1}, \] to simplify the left side. 1. We first consider \(2 \cdot \binom{n}{r - 3}\) as \(\binom{n}{r - 3} + \binom{n}{r - 3}\). 2. Then we can group the terms as follows: \[ \binom{n}{r - 3} + \binom{n}{r - 2} + \binom{n}{r - 1} + \binom{n}{r - 1} + \binom{n}{r - 2} + \binom{n}{r - 3} = \binom{n+1}{r - 2} + \binom{n+1}{r - 1} + \binom{n+1}{r - 3}. \] ### Step 4: Apply Hockey Stick Identity Using the Hockey Stick Identity again, we have: \[ \binom{n+1}{r - 2} + \binom{n+1}{r - 1} + \binom{n+1}{r - 3} = \binom{n + 3}{r}. \] ### Step 5: Equate to \(\binom{x}{r}\) Now we can equate this to the right-hand side of the original equation: \[ \binom{n + 3}{r} = \binom{x}{r}. \] ### Step 6: Solve for \(x\) Since the binomial coefficients are equal, we can conclude: \[ x = n + 3. \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \(x\) is: \[ \boxed{n + 3}. \]

To solve the equation \[ \binom{n}{n - r + 3} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{n - r + 1} + 3 \cdot \binom{n}{n - r + 2} + \binom{n}{n - r + 3} = \binom{x}{r}, \] we will simplify the left-hand side using properties of combinations. ...
