The sum of two integers is 74. The larger is 26 more than twice the smaller. Find the two integers.

1 answer:

7 0

To find the answer,we can set up two equations:

Let the integer be x and y seperately,and x be the larger number:

x+y=74
y=74-x....(1)

x-2y=26...(2)

Put (1) into (2):

x-2(74-x)=26
x-148+2x=26
3x=26+148
x=174/3
x=58

Put the above answer into (1):

y=74-58
y=16

Therefore,the answer is x=58, y=16.

Hope it helps!

Answer: a) 1977060966, b) 146581344.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

There are 10 numbers,

There are 26 lower case letters,

There are 26 upper case letters,

Since the first 3 characters have to be digits and next 6 can be upper or lower.

So, a) repetitions are allowed:

$10^3\times (26+26)^6\\\\=10^3\times 52^6\\\\=1977060966$
