You can put this solution on YOUR website! How many four-digit counting numbers can be made from the digits 1,2,3, and 4 if 2 and 3 must be next to each other and if repetition is not permitted?
--------
If 2 and 3 must be next to each other they act like one letter but
their order may be 2-3 or 3-2 i.e. 2! ways
Acting like one letter you get 3! arrangements; switching the order
of the 23 you get a total of 3!(2!)=12 acceptable patterns
