A license plate is made up of 2 letter and 3 single digit numbersA license plate is made up of 2 letter and 3 single digit numbers.
There are 26 letters (A-Z). And there are 10 single digit numbers [0-9]. So our total combinations are:

A RECTANGLE HAS A PERIMETER OF 196 CENTIMETERS. IF THE LENGTH IS 6 TIMES ITS WIDTH FIND TH DIMENSIONA RECTANGLE HAS A PERIMETER OF 196 CENTIMETERS. IF THE LENGTH IS 6 TIMES ITS WIDTH FIND TH DIMENSIONS OF THE RECTANGLE?
Whoa... stop screaming with those capital letters! But I digress...
The perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2l + 2w
We're given two equations:
[LIST=1]
[*]P = 196
[*]l = 6w
[/LIST]
Plug these into the perimeter formula:
2(6w) + 2w = 196
12w + 2w = 196
[URL='https://www.mathcelebrity.com/1unk.php?num=12w%2B2w%3D196&pl=Solve']Plugging this equation into our search engine[/URL], we get:
[B]w = 14[/B]
Now we put w = 14 into equation (2) above:
l = 6(14)
[B]l = 84
[/B]
So our length (l), width (w) of the rectangle is (l, w) = [B](84, 14)
[/B]
Let's check our work by plugging this into the perimeter formula:
2(84) + 2(14) ? 196
168 + 28 ? 196
196 = 196 <-- checks out
