When n=0, you have

4^0=1\equiv3(0)+1=1\mod9

Now assume this is true for n=k, i.e.

4^k\equiv3k+1\mod9

and under this hypothesis show that it's also true for n=k+1. You have

4^k\equiv3k+1\mod9
4\equiv4\mod9
\implies 4\times4^k\equiv4(3k+1)\mod9
\implies 4^{k+1}\equiv12k+4\mod9

In other words, there exists M such that

4^{k+1}=9M+12k+4

Rewriting, you have

4^{k+1}=9M+9k+3k+4
4^{k+1}=9(M+k)+3k+3+1
4^{k+1}=9(M+k)+3(k+1)+1

and this is equivalent to 3(k+1)+1 modulo 9, as desired.

Simplify -10x - x plzzzz help
Marta_Voda [28]

hi <3

this is a lot simpler if you just ignore the variable (basically the letter)

now you have -10 - 1

which gives you -11

now just add back on the variable to give you your answer of:

-11x

hope this helps :)

Factor 21x^3 y^2 – 3x^2y + 75x^4
malfutka [58]
The greatest common factor is 3x². The rest doesn't factor.
  21x³y² -3x²y +75x⁴ = 3x²(7xy² -y +25x²)

Which value below will make 3-6x=21
Lorico [155]

We are given the following equation and want to find which value of x will make it true:

3-6x=21

Subtract 3 from both sides

-6x=18

Divide both sides by -6

x=-3

Thus, the value that will make 3-6x=21 is x=-3. Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
