-2(6-x)= 3x, the solution is find the value of x, you must apply distributive property, tho the first term, -12+2x= 3x⇒ 3x-2x= -12⇒ x = -12, the answer correct is option D

The answer is "D" because after you distribute the -2 you must move the -2 to the other side and solve as normal

½x + 1 ⅔ subtracted from 1 ½x - 1 ⅓<br> simplify IF NEEDED

Volgvan

Answer:

$( \frac{1}{2} x + 1 \frac{2}{3} ) - (1 \frac{1}{2} x - 1 \frac{1}{3} ) \\ = ( \frac{1}{2} - \frac{3}{2} )x + ( \frac{5}{3} + \frac{4}{3} ) \\ = \frac{ - 2}{2} x + \frac{9}{3} \\ = - x + 3 \\ = 3 - x$

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.
