\(\begin{pmatrix} n\\ a \end{pmatrix} = \frac{n!}{(a)!(n-a)!}\)

 

substitute  n-1  for  n  and simplify.   Then you will have your answer.

 

Give it a go and get back with your answer or your difficulty.  

 

 

Please no one answer over the top of me, wait for guest to give a proper response.  Thanks.
