A lock requires a 3 number combination using the numbers 0 through 9, none of which may be repeated. How many outcomes are possible? 48

720

12010

720

Step-by-step explanation:

The lock requires that repetition is not allowed.

The possibles numbers are 0 - 9, that is, 10 digits.

The first number in the combination can be picked from the 10 digits.

This means that there are 10 possible choices.

The second number in the combination can now only be picked from 9 digits.

This means that there are 9 possible choices.

The third number in the combination can now only be picked from 8 digits.

This means that there are 8 possible choices.

Therefore, the number of possible outcomes in the combination is:

10 * 9 * 8 = 720 outcomes

let soccer = x and golf = y

part a

1st equation: x + y = 125

2nd equation: x = y +45

part b

replace x in the 1st equation with the 2nd one:

y + 45 + y = 125

simplify:

2y + 45 = 125

subtract 45 from each side:

2y = 80

divide both sides by 2:

y = 80/2

y = 40

she plays golf for 40 minutes.

part c

no because she plays soccer for 45 minutes longer than golf 40 +45 =   85 minutes, not 80 minutes.
