[tex]$C_{12}(16)=\left(\begin{array}{l}16 \\ 12\end{array}\right)=\frac{16 !}{12 !(16-12) !}=\frac{16 \cdot 15 \cdot 14\cdot13}{4\cdot3 \cdot 2 \cdot 1}=1820[/tex]
[tex]$n=5$ $k=12$\\$x=\left(\begin{array}{c}n+k-1 \\ k\end{array}\right)=\left(\begin{array}{c}5+12-1 \\ 12\end{array}\right)=1820$[/tex]
