If n=1, then

n(n+1)(2n+1)=1\cdot2\cdot3=6

which is of course divisible by 6.

Assume the claim holds for n=k. Then if n=k+1, we have

(k+1)(k+2)(2k+3)=\underbrace{k(k+1)(2k+1)}+k(2k+3)+(k+2)(2k+3)+2k(k+1)

(I use the distributive property of multiplication to extract the first term, which we've assumed is divisible by 6)

The claim holds for n=k+1 if

k(2k+3)+(k+2)(2k+3)+2k(k+1)

is also divisible by 6. With some manipulation we can express this as

(2k+2)(2k+3)+2k(k+1)

(k+1)(2(2k+3)+2k)

(k+1)(6k+6)

6(k+1)^2

which is clearly divisible by 6, so the claim is true for n=k+1, and this completes the proof (by induction).

The larger of two numbers is 7 less than twice the
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The two numbers are 29 and 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the two numbers

x = 2y-7

x+y = 47

We have two equations and 2 unknowns

Substituting the first equation into the second equation

2y-7+y = 47

Combine like terms

3y -7 = 47

3y-7+7 = 47+7

3y = 54

Divide by 3

3y/3 = 54/3

y = 18

Now find x

x = 2y-7

x = 2*18 -7

x = 36-7

x = 29

The two numbers are 29 and 18
