Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Consecutive even numbers can be written as X,X+2,X+4,X+6, and so forth. You only have three consecutive even numbers that equal 96, so write the following equation:

X+X+2+X+4=96

1) Combine alike terms:

3X+6=96

2) Subtract 6 from both sides:

3X=90

3) Divide both sides by 3:

X=30

Now plug in 30 for each of the consecutive even numbers' equations:

X=30

X+2=32

X+4=34

The smallest of these three numbers is 30, therefore the answer is 30!

Vilka [71]

Answer:

1,404,000 unique passwords are possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order in which the letters and the digits are is important(AB is a different password than BA), which means that the permutations formula is used to solve this question.

Permutations formula:

The number of possible permutations of x elements from a set of n elements is given by the following formula:

$P_{(n,x)} = \frac{n!}{(n-x)!}$

In this question:

2 digits from a set of 10(there are 10 possible digits, 0-9).

3 characters from a set of 26. So

$P_{10,2}P_{26,3} = \frac{10!}{8!} \times \frac{26!}{23!} = 10*9*26*25*24 = 1404000$

1,404,000 unique passwords are possible.

Answer:

x = 1

x = 0

x = 1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 1

x = 0

x = 1 1/4

The < sign means less than. -1/4 is less than 1, 0, and 1/4, and more than -3/4 and -1. So, 1, 0, and 1 1/4 are the right answers.
