Find The Number Of Solutions To The Following Equation

70 Views Asked by At

Find the number of integer solutions to the equation:

$x(1) + x(2) + ··· + x(11) = 49 $

such that $0 \leqslant x(r) \leqslant 8$ for each $r= 1, 2,...,8$

I Used Principle Of Inclusion And Exclusion To get the following:

When any $1$ of the $x(r)$ are $ \geqslant 9$

When any $2$ of the $x(r)$ are $\geqslant 9$ ...

Until we are at-

When any $6$ of the $x(r) \geqslant 9$

And After This We Can't Proceed because the RHS would become negative ,

So I Am not sure what to do next...

Edit: I Want the Solution From The Ball And Box Principle And P.I.E. Contrary as Mentioned Below In The Comments
