Well let's see:
The first letter can be any one of 26 .
For each one . . .
The second letter can be any one of the remaining 25.
For each one . . .
The third letter can be any one of the remaining 24.
For each one . . .
The two digits can be any number from 01 to 98 ...
except 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66, 77, or 88. (No repetition.)
There are 90 of them.
So the total number of possibilities is (26 · 25 · 24 · 90) .
When I multiply that out, I get 1,404,000 .
I don't know how you got your number, so I can't comment on your
method, but I did find something interesting about your number:
If I assume that you did the three letters the same way I did, then
if I divide your number by (26·25·24), the quotient will show me
how you handled the two digits.
1,263,600 / (26·25·24) = 81 .
That's very intriguing, because it's so close to the 90 sets of digits
that I used. But I don't know what it means, or if it means anything
at all.
Answer:
x 2 y -4
Step-by-step explanation:
13x = -54 -20y give it is A
-10x = 60 + 20y give it is B
A + B the sum of the left side of equation is equal to the sum of the right side of equation
13 + (-10x) = -54 -20y + 60 + 20y
3x = 60-54
3x = 6
x=2
so put the x value in A or B equation you can receive y value (B is easier)
y = -4
-3(x-14)+9x=6x+24
-3x+42+9x=6x+24
-3x+9x-6x=-24-42
0=-18

The first thing you need to do is understand what you're looking for ...
what a 'solution' means, what it looks like, and how you even know
when you have it. I'm not sure you're there yet.
The 'answer' or the 'solution' to the problem is a number. It's the number
that 'x' must be in order for that line at the top to be a true statement. There's
only one possibility.
To find it, you can do anything you want to either side of the problem, as long as
you do exactly the same thing to the other side too. With that ability, here's how
to 'figure out the problem', and find the answer:
The original problem: </span><span><u>3x + 8 = 26 + x</u>
Subtract 8 from each side:
3x = 18 + x
Subtract 'x' from each side:
2x = 18
Divide each side by 2 :
<u>x = 9 </u> .
That's what the answer looks like, and that's what the answer is.
' 9 ' is the ONLY number you can write in place of 'x' in the problem,
and have the problem read true.
I'll show you what I mean. Let's take the original problem
</span><span> <u><span>3x + 8 = 26 + x
</span></u><span>and let's write ' 2 ' wherever we see 'x' :
3 (2) + 8 = 26 + 2
3 (2) means 3 times 2, and that's 6 .
So now we have
6 + 8 = 26 + 2
Do the addition on each side, and we have
14 = 28 .
That's nonsense. 14 is not equal to 28 . The reason that happened
is because we put the wrong number in place of 'x' . When we put the
correct number in place of 'x', the left side will be equal to the right side.
To 'figure out the problem' means to find out what that number must be.
For this particular problem, it's 9 .
