If there's is not divisible by 12 then the number is not divisible by 6 and 2. Hope this helps.

Any number that is divisible by 6 is already divisible by 2, but is not necessarily divisible by 12.

Counterexamples include: 6, 18, 30, 42, 54, and so on. You can find more by multiplying 6 by any odd number. However, multiplying 6 by an even number provides another "2" that would make it divisible by 12.

Kathy is fencing in her yard that has an area of 800 square feet. Her yard is in the shape of a rectangle where the length is 60

anygoal [31]

Answer:

The dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let be:

W: width of the yard.

L:length.

Now, we can write the equation of that relates length and width:

$L=5W-60$ (Equation #1)

The area of the yard can be expressed as (using equation #1 into #2):

$Area=W*L=W*(5W-60)$ (Equation #2)

Since the Area of the yard is $800 ft^2$ , then equation #2 turns into:

$800=W*(5W-60)$

Now, we rearrange this equation:

$800=W*(5W-60)//800=5W^2-60W//5W^2-60W-800=0$

We can divide the equation by 5 :

$W^2-12W-160=0$

We need to find the solution for this quadratic. Let's find the factors of 160 that multiplied yields -160 and added yields -12. Let's choose -20 and 8, since $(-20)*8=160$ and $-20+8=-12$ . The equation factorised looks like this:

$(W-20)(W+8)=0$

Therefore the possible solutions are W=20 and W=-8. We discard W=-8 since width must be a positive number. To find the length, we substitute the value of W in equation #1:

$5*20-60=40$

Therefore, the dimensions of the yard are W=20ft and L=40ft.
