Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of mysteries solved=x, then according to question, number of mysteries Evan solved=\frac{7}{9}x, also together they solve all the mysteries, thus

14+\frac{7}{9}x=x

14=x-\frac{7}{9}x

14=\frac{9x-7x}{9}

14=\frac{2x}{9}

2x=126

x=63

Thus, total number of mysteries solved=63.

Also, total number of mysteries Evan solved=\frac{7}{9}x= \frac{7}{9}{\times}63=49.

How many 7-digit numbers are there where all the digits are different and in increasing order? for example, the numbers 1345689
frutty [35]
For this problem,we use the Fundamental Counting Principle. You know that there are 7 digits in a number. In this principle, you have to multiply the possible numbers for every digit. If the first number cannot be zero, then there are 9 possible numbers. So, the value for the first digit is 9. The second digit could be any number but less of 1 because it was used in the 1st digit. So, that would be 10 - 1 = 9. The third digit must be the value in the second digit less than 1. That would be 9 - 1 = 8. And so on and so forth. The solution would be:

9×9×8×7×6×5×4 = 544,320 7-digit numbers
