Determine n if:

straight C presuperscript 2 straight n end presuperscript subscript 3 space colon space straight C presuperscript straight n subscript 3 space equals space 11 colon 1

Solution
straight C presuperscript 2 straight n end presuperscript subscript 3 colon straight C presuperscript straight n subscript 3 space equals space 11 colon 1
rightwards double arrow      fraction numerator 2 straight n factorial over denominator left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 3 right parenthesis factorial end fraction colon space fraction numerator straight n factorial over denominator left parenthesis straight n minus 3 right parenthesis factorial space 3 factorial end fraction space equals space 11 colon 1

rightwards double arrow      fraction numerator left parenthesis 2 straight n right parenthesis space left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 1 right parenthesis space left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 2 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 3 right parenthesis factorial over denominator left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 3 right parenthesis factorial space 3 factorial end fraction cross times fraction numerator 3 factorial space left parenthesis straight n minus 3 right parenthesis factorial over denominator straight n left parenthesis straight n minus 1 right parenthesis space left parenthesis straight n minus 2 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis straight n minus 3 right parenthesis factorial end fraction equals 11 over 1
rightwards double arrow            fraction numerator left parenthesis 2 straight n right parenthesis space left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 1 right parenthesis thin space left parenthesis 2 straight n minus 2 right parenthesis over denominator straight n space left parenthesis straight n minus 1 right parenthesis space left parenthesis straight n minus 2 right parenthesis end fraction equals 11 over 1

rightwards double arrow                                3n = 18
rightwards double arrow                                 n = 6
Hence,    n = 6.
