Answer:

the numbers are 9 and 27

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to the problem: x+y=36

one number (y) is 18 times greater than the other number (x): x+18=y

plug in the 2nd equation to the first equation (systems of equations):

x+(x+18)=36

solve the equation:

2x+18=36

*minus 18 on both sides*

2x=18

*divide the whole equation by 2 to get the value of just one x*

x=9

since variable x is the n smaller number, add 18 to 9 to get the 2nd number:

18+9= 27

y=27

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

a+b=36

lets name the 2 numbers a,b

b=a+18

a+a+18=36

2a=36-18

2a=18

a=9

b=27

10. The sum of two numbers is 6 less than twice the first number. Their difference is 10 less than four times the second number.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

10 and 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the first number.

Let y be the second number.

x + y = 2x - 6

x - y = 4y - 10

x = 4y - 10 + y

x = 5y - 10

(5y - 10) + y = 2(5y - 10) - 6

6y - 10 = 10y - 20 - 6

6y - 10 = 10y - 26

6y - 10y = -26 + 10

-4y = -16

y = 4

x - (4) = 4(4) - 10

x - 4 = 16 - 10

x - 4 = 6

x = 6 + 4

x = 10

The number of permutations of the 25 letters taken 2 at a time (with repetitions) is: $25^{2}$
The number of permutations of the 9 digits taken 4 at a time (with repetitions) is:
$9^{4}$
Each permutation of letters can be taken with each permutation of digits, therefore the total number of possible passwords is:
$25^{2}\times 9^{4}=4,100,625$
