Hey there!

Answer:

CD = 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangles are similar, we can set up a ratio to determine the other side-lengths:

\frac{12-x}{18} =\frac{x}{6}

Cross multiply:

6(12-x) = 18x

Distribute the '6':

72-6x = 18x

Combine like terms and simplify:

72 = 24x

x = 3

Therefore, the length of CD is 3.

Prove that 25^11−5^19 is divisible by 31.
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

Divisible by 3 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

First get everything to have the same base of 5

25^11 - 5^19

(5^2)^11 - 5^19

5^(2*11) - 5^19

5^22 - 5^19

Now factor out the GCF 5^19 to get

5^22 - 5^19

5^(19+3) - 5^(19+0)

5^19*5^3 - 5^19*5^0

5^19(5^3 - 5^0)

5^19(125 - 1)

5^19*(124)

At this point, we factor the 124 into 31*4 to end up with this full factorization: 5^19*31*4

Therefore, 25^11 - 5^19 is equivalent to 5^19*31*4

Since 31 is a factor of the original expression, this means the original expression is divisible by 31.
