In this case, all letters are unique.
Start by holding the first letter:
E - XAM
E - XMA
E - MAX
E - MXA
E - AXM
E - AMX
So there are 6 combinations here.
Repeat for all 4 letters.
6 x 4 = 24
This is same as 4x3x2x1.
For 3 unique characters, it is 3x2x1.
For 5 unique characters, it is 5x4x3x2x1
And so on...
Answer:
20 comic books
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us first <u>set up a variable</u>, x, for the number of books that Zoe has. If Jared has 12 more comics than Zoe, he would have x+12 books.
Given that Zoe and Jared have a total of 28 comic books, let us write an <u>equation</u> and solve for x:

Now that we have a <u>simplified</u> version of the equation, let us solve for x by <u>isolating the variable</u> on the left side:

We now know that x=8, and also that Jared has x+12 books. To find the number of comic books Jared has, let us <u>add</u> 12 to x:

Therefore, Jared has 20 comic books.
