Answer:
There are 400 possible zip codes in the Houston area
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to calculate the possible number of zip codes in the Houston area
We have 5 digits to form
77 is the first two digits ( this is fixed)
For the third digit, we are selecting 1 number out of 0,3,4 or 5
This means 4 C 1
The remaining digits can be any digits
We have 0-9, a total of 10 digits
The first will be 10 C 1 and the second last digit too is 10 C 1
So the number of possible zip codes will be;
4 C 1 * 10 C 1 * 10 C 1
= 4 * 10 * 10 = 400 possible zip codes
= <span><span>−x</span>+6</span>
<span>=<span><span> −<span>3x</span></span>+3</span></span>
<span>= </span><span><span>−x</span>+6</span>
= <span><span>2x</span>−3</span>
<span>= <span><span>−<span>4x</span></span>−<span>17</span></span></span>
