Answer:

Statement (1) ALONE is sufficient, but statement (2) alone is not sufficient.

Step-by-step explanation:

A multiple of a number is obtained after multiplying the number by an integer.

Here,

x, y are any two integers greater than 1,

(1) We have,

\small 3y^{2}+7y=x

\implies y(3y+7) = x

∵ y is an integer ⇒ 3y + 7 is also an integer,

⇒ y × an integer = x

That is, when we multiply y by a number we obtain x,

∴ x is a multiple of y.

Thus, statement (1) ALONE is sufficient.

(2),

\small x^{2}-x\text{ is a multiple of y}

I.e.

y\times a = x^2-x, where a is an integer,

\implies y\times a = x(x-1)

∵ x and x - 1 are disjoint numbers,

There are three possible cases,

Case 1 : x is multiple of y

Case 2 : (x-1) is a multiple of y,

Case 3 : neither x nor x - 1 are multiple of y but their product is multiple of y,

Thus, statement (2) is not sufficient.

1. The amount of money Travis earns is given in the table.
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

  $250

Step-by-step explanation:

The numbers in the table indicate a proportional relationship between earnings and hours worked. Among other things, that means you can find the earnings for 20 hours by using any table values that sum to 20 hours.

For example, 9 hours + 11 hours = 20 hours, so the earnings would be ...

  $112.50 +137.50 = $250.00 . . . for 20 hours

You could also use 4×5 hours = 20 hours, so ...

  4×$62.50 = $250 . . . for 20 hours

__

Or, you can figure ...

  $37.50/(3 h) = $12.50/h

so the pay for 20 hours is ...

  (20 h)×($12.50/h) = $250.00

In the table below, x represents the miles traveled and y represents the cost to travel by train.
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

to find slope it is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

(15.25-8.50)/(5-2)

6.75/3

2.25 is the slope

Exponential form of 81/625
Vesnalui [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!

you number is: 81/625

We know that,

81=9×9

and

625=25×25

and............................................................

9×9 means 9^2

and 25×25 means 25^2

so, the exponential form of the question is,

=\frac{ {9}^{2} }{ {25}^{2} }

{we simply find exponential form by finding their fraction}
