The value of X - Y such that the eight-digit number 7448X24Y is divisible by both 8 and 9 is 7

<h3>How to determine the distinct digits X and Y?</h3>

The eight-digit number is given as:

7448X24Y

Also, from the question

The number is divisible by 8 and 9

When a number is divisible by 8, then the last three digits of that number would be divisible by 8.

When a number is divisible by 9, the sum of the digits of the number would be divisible by 9.

So, we have:

24Y is divisible by 8

The possible value of Y from the above statement is 0

This is so because 240 is divisible by 8

The sum of the digits of the number would be divisible by 9.

This means that:

7 + 4 + 4 + 8 + X + 2 + 4 + Y = 29 + X + Y

Substitute 0 for Y

29 + X + Y = 29 + X + 0

Evaluate the sum

29 + X + Y = 29 + X

36 is divided by 9

So, we have

29 + X = 36

Subtract 29 from both sides of the equation

X = 7

So, we have

X = 7 and Y = 0

X - Y is calculated as:

X - Y = 7 - 0

Evaluate the difference in the above equation

X - Y = 7

Hence, the value of X - Y such that the eight-digit number 7448X24Y is divisible by both 8 and 9 is 7

Rewrite the equation in standard form y= 4/5x+0.85. Enter answer as ax+by=c or ax+by+c=0

Paraphin [41]

At very minimum, move (4/5)x to the other side of the given equation. Then:

-(4/5)x + y = 0.85. This is the equation in standard form.

Meldie made a cube whose side is (3x - 2) inches. Find its volume in cubic inches.

irinina [24]

Answer:

x^2(3x-2) cubic inches OR in^3

3x { 3 [ 3x ( x - 2 ) + 4 ] } - 8 cubic inches OR in^3

I AM UNAWARE IF YOU ASKED THAT ONE SIDE IS (3X-2) OR ALL. I WILL ANSWER BOTH PARTS

-

NOTE: '^' MEANS TO THE POWER OF..

-

Volume = v, abc = 3 sides of cube (height, width, length)

Using the formula for volume in a cube,

$v = abc$

We can solve this.

If one side is (3x-2)in,

(3x-2)(x)(x) = v.... x are the other two sides
x^2(3x-2) = v

x^2(3x-2) cubic inches OR in^3

If all sides are (3x-2)in,

Use the formula,

$(a - b) ^{3} = {a}^{3} + 3ab(b - a) - {b}^{3}$

We can solve this.

(3x-2)(3x-2)(3x-2) = v
(3x-2)^3 = v.... 3x = a and -2 = b
(3x)^3 + [(3)(3x)(2)][2-3x] - (2)^3 = v
27x^3 + 18x(2-3x) -8 = v
(27x^3 + 36x - 54x^2) - 8 = v.. Terms inside brackets - take 3x as common and leave out 8
3x(9x^2 -18x +12) = v... Take 3 as common again in the brackets
3x [ 3 ([3x^2 -6x] + 4) -8 = v....Take 3x common in the terms in square brackets
3x [ 3 [ 3x (x-2) + 4 ]] - 8 = v
3x { 3 [ 3x ( x - 2 ) + 4 ] } - 8 = v

3x { 3 [ 3x ( x - 2 ) + 4 ] } - 8 cubic inches OR in^3
