1/3(21 - 3a) = 6 - a
7 - a = 6 - a
7 = 6
Therefore, the equation has no solution.
The total number of possible combinations to make a three digit number is 60
<u>Explanation:</u>
Given:
Five numbers are there = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
We have to form three digit number
The number should not be repeated
Consider 3 dashes for 3 digits : ___ ___ ___
The first dash can be occupied by any 5 digits.
The second dash can be occupied by 4 digits
The third dash can be occupied by 3 digits
Thus, number of possible combinations to make a three digit number is
= 5 X 4 X 3
= 60
Therefore, total number of possible combinations to make a three digit number is 60
Y=6, X=72
Y=?,X=8
12Y=X
12Y/9=X/9
4/3Y=8
Y=8*3/4
Y=6
