Assume a is not divisible by 10. (otherwise the problem is trivial). 
<span>Define R(m) to be the remainder of a^m when divided by 10. </span>
<span>R can take on one of 9 possible values, namely, 1,2,...,9. </span>
<span>Now, consider R(1),R(2),......R(10). At least 2 of them must have the sames value (by the Pigeonhole Principle), say R(i) = R(j) ( j>i ) </span>
<span>Then, a^j - a^i is divisible by 10.</span>

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

add 25 and 30 to get 55

a triangle always equals 180 so

180-55=125

y is a straight line with x which equals 180 so

180-125=55

In parallelogram FGHJ if m∡ GHJ=55˚ find m∡FGH
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

∠ FGH = 125°

Step-by-step explanation:

The consecutive angles in a parallelogram are supplementary, then

∠ FGH + ∠ GHJ = 180° , that is

∠ FGH  + 55° = 180° ( subtract 55° from both sides )

∠ FGH = 125°
