Math Problem Statement

Possible combinations of 5 unique numbers from 1-9 that totals 33

Solution

To find all possible combinations of 5 unique numbers from the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\} that add up to 33, we need to explore which sets of five distinct elements will satisfy this condition.

Let me calculate these combinations for you.There are two possible combinations of five unique numbers from the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9}\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\} that sum to 33:

  1. {3,6,7,8,9}\{3, 6, 7, 8, 9\}
  2. {4,5,7,8,9}\{4, 5, 7, 8, 9\}

Would you like any further details or explanations?

Here are five related questions to explore further:

  1. How would the answer change if we allowed repetition of numbers?
  2. Can you find combinations of 6 numbers from 1-9 that sum to 33?
  3. What is the total number of possible combinations of 5 numbers from a set of 9?
  4. How can this concept be generalized to larger sets or different sums?
  5. What is the probability of randomly picking a valid combination from all combinations?

Tip: When solving combinatorial problems, breaking them down into distinct sets and checking conditions (like the sum) simplifies the search for valid solutions.
