The numbers are 16 and 4
Reason: 16+4=20 and (16*3)-(4*2)=48-8=40
To find our solution, we can start off by creating a string of 27 boxes, all followed by the letters of the alphabet. Underneath the boxes, we can place 6 pairs of boxes and 15 empty boxes.The stars represent the six letters we pick. The empty boxes to the left of the stars provide the "padding" needed to ensure that no two adjacent letters are chosen. We can create this -

Thus, the answer is that there are

ways to choose a set of six letters such that no two letters in the set are adjacent in the alphabet. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal New Year!

To answer this problem, the utilization of the provided formula is of utmost importance.
The formula to be used would be for the combination with no repetition since it is what is asked and possibly happens when involving the products mentioned in the problem. The formula would be
n! where in
------------- n = number of things to choose from
(n - r)! r! r = number of things needed to form
the symbol ! is called a factorial function which replaces the sequence of multiplying a number in a descending order.
lets substitute and solve
13!
--------------
(13 - 6)! 6!
13!
-------------
(7!) 6!
6,227,020,800
-------------------
5,040 x 720
6,227,020,800
-------------------
3,628,800
1,716
The answer would be 1,716.
