Permutation and Combination

Hey, guys I am new to this forum and I don't know whether this is the right way to ask a question or not.
I am able to understand the sum up until the n(A U B) part; shouldn't it be the total number of numbers which contain both the digits 2 and 7?

Here's what's going on.

$A$ is the set of all numbers using digits $3-7$ but NOT $2$

$B$ is the set of all numbers using digits $2-6$ but NOT $7$

so none of these numbers contain both $2$ AND $7$

thus the set of all numbers that don't contain both $2$ AND $7 = A \cup B$

can you follow the rest from there?
