An oil company is going to issue new ID codes to its employees. Each code will have one letter, followed by one digit, followed by three letters. The letters w, x, y, and z will not be used. So, there are 22 letters and 10 digits that will be used. Assume that the letters can be repeated. How many employee ID codes can be generated?

2342560 combos

Step-by-step explanation:

so its 1 letter*1number*1 letter*1 letter*1 letter, or 22x10x22x22x22 which should equate to 2342560 possible ID codes, hope this helps :)

ok then what happened.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
