I suspect the information is not shown correctly. \n" ); document.write( "(1) a=b+2 and b=c+2 together mean the first three digits of the number are one of these: \n" ); document.write( "420, 531, 642, 753, 864, or 975 \n" ); document.write( "That's 6 choices for the first three digits. \n" ); document.write( "(2) d=2d/2 tells us nothing; e=2d/4=d/2d tells us that d is even. So d can be any even digit and e is half of d. So the last two digits are one of these: \n" ); document.write( "00, 21, 42, 63, or 84 \n" ); document.write( "That's 5 choices for the last two digits. \n" ); document.write( "With the problem as shown, there are 6*5=30 5-digit numbers that satisfy the given conditions. \r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
