2 Letters chosen among 6 with no repeat:
a) the first has 6 ways
the second has 5 ways
Then to choose 2 letters among 6, with no repeat, there are 6x5 = 30 ways
b) 3 numbers are taken from the digits 0 through 9 with repeats (total = 10)
the first has 10 ways
the second has 10 ways
the third has 10 ways
Then to choose 3 numbers among 10, with repeat, there are 10x10x10= 1000 ways
And the total serial numbers that can be generated is
30 x 1000 = 3000
Simplified: 3x+7y+(-2y)+9
Coefficient of y: 5
Constant: 3 and 6
