See details below

Explanation:

The number of aplications (mappings) between two sets with cardinals n and m respectively is #m^n#

In our case, the number of mappings is #5^4=625=x#

The number of inyective mappings (one to one) is #V_m^n=m(m-1)(m-2)...(m-n+1)# In our case #V_5^4=5·4·3·2=120=y#

#x+y=625+120=745#
