Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rectangle is 171 m²

Let l is the length and b is the width of the rectangle

It width is 10 m less than the length. So,

b = l-10 ...(1)

Area of a rectangle is given by :

A=l\times b\\\\171=l(l-10)\\\\l^2-10l=171\\\\l^2-10l-171=0\\\\l^2-19l+9l-171=0\\\\\text{taking common together}\\\\l(l-19)+9(l-19)=0\\\\(l-9)(l-19)=0

or

l = 9 m or l = 19 m

If l = 9 m,

b = 9-10 = -1 m (can't be possible)

If l = 19 m

b = 19-10 = 9 m

So, the length an the breadth of the rectangle is 19 m and 9 m respectively.

Let n be a natural number. Show that 3 | n3 −n
Vladimir [108]
Let n=1. Then n^3-n=1^3-1=0. By convention, every non-zero integer n divides 0, so 3\vert n^3-n.

Suppose this relation holds for n=k, i.e. 3\vert k^3-k. We then hope to show it must also hold for n=k+1.

You have

(k+1)^3-(k+1)=(k^3+3k^2+3k+1)-(k+1)=(k^3-k)+3(k^2+k)

We assumed that 3\vert k^3-k, and it's clear that 3\vert 3(k^2+k) because 3(k^2+k) is a multiple of 3. This means the remainder upon divides (k+1)^3-(k+1) must be 0, and therefore the relation holds for n=k+1. This proves the statement.

How do I solve this?
Korvikt [17]

The interior angles of any triangle always sum to 180°.

In the triangle, angles C and D are labeled congruent, so the missing angle has measure

180° - 2 (6x - 5)°

This angle is supplementary to the one labeled (11x + 1)°, which means

180° = (11x + 1)° + (180° - 2 (6x - 5)°)

Solve for x :

180° = (11x + 1)° + 180° - 2 (6x - 5)°

0 = (11x + 1)° - 2 (6x - 5)°

0 = (11x)° + 1° - (12x)° + 10°

(12x - 11x)° = 1° + 10°

x° = 11°

x = 11
