So... let's say, we have two numbers "a" and "b",
"a" is the smaller one, "b" is the larger one
so, their sum is 6
a + b = 6

3 times the smaller => 3 * a or 3a
now, two less than that
3a - 2

that equals the larger "b"

3a - 2 = b
\bf a+b=6
\\\\
\boxed{3a-2}=b\\\\
--------------\\
thus
\\\\
a+(\boxed{3a-2})=6  

solve for "a",

now, what's "b"?  well, 3a - 2 = b :)

A computer system requires that passwords contain at least one digit. if eight characters are generated at random, and each is e
KIM [24]
Figure this out as though no digits are present. You can choose 8 of the 26 letters and that's it.
26^8 [you can allow repeating letters]  =  2.088 * 10^11
The total number of ways that can be chosen with letters and digits intermixed = 36^8

The probability of getting no numbers is 26^8 / 36^8 or (26/36)^8 = 0.07402
So the probability that there were be at least one digit is
1 - 0.07402 = 0.92598
