Answer: 7893600

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The number of digits used for computer password = 5

Number of letter in English alphabet=26

By using permutations, the required number of passwordssuch that there is no letter repeated is given by :-

$^{26}P_5=\frac{26!}{(26-5)!}\\\\=\frac{26\times25\times24\times23\times22\times21!}{21!}\\\\=26\times25\times24\times23\times22=7893600$

Hence, there area 7893600 passwords are possible.

0.3x=15<br> Identify the slope and y-intercept.

masha68 [24]

Steps to solve:

0.3x = 15

~Divide 0.3 to both sides

0.3x/0.3 = 15/0.3

~Simplify

x = 50

This is a vertical line so the slope is undefined.

The line passes through the point (50, 0) and there is no y-intercept since its a straight vertical line.

Best of Luck!

Answer: The team won 100 games and losses 28 games

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of games won denoted by x and the games lost is denoted by y .

Given : A minor league baseball team plays 128 games in a season.

Team won 16 more than three times as many games as they lost.

Then, the system of equations, we have

$x+y=128-------(1)\\\\x=3y+16------------(2)$

We can rewrite equation (2) as $x-3y=16----------------(3)$

Now, Eliminate equation (3) from (1), we get

$y-(-3y)=128-16\\\\\Rightarrow\ 4y=112\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{112}{4}=28$

Substitute the value of y in (2), we get

$x=3(28)+16=84+16=100$

Hence, the team won 100 games and losses 28 games.
