Put a digit in the gap, such that the answer is a whole number:

Mathematics

6 0

Answer: The possible digits are 2,5 and 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3x +486 = 100_

From the equation in the question, we are looking for a digit to put in the gap after 100 to make sure that when we solve the question, x will be a whole number.

Therefore, since it's a single digit required, the possible digits will be from 0 to 9.

Now, from divisibilty tests, for a number from 2 digits upwards to be divisible by 3, the sum of its digits has to be divisible by 3.

Going back to the question, let's divide each term by 3 to get ;

3x/3 + 486/3 = 100_ to give ;

x + 162 = 100_ /3

Now for x to be a whole number, the value on the right hand side must be a whole number.

Therefore, since we know that for a 2 digits and above number to be divisible by 3,it's sum must be divisible by 3. We can plug in any of the digits from 0-9 into the gap and add up.

For 0; 1+0+0+0= 1

For 1; 1+0+0+1 = 2

For 2; 1+0+0+2= 3

Following the same addition pattern for digits 3,4,5,6,7,8and 9, we'll get sum of 4,5,6,7,8,9 and 10 respectively.

Inspecting the above, the only additions that are divisible by 3 are when the digit is; 2,5 and 8

Giovanna has a score of -5 in canasta Vera score is -10
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

I do not fully understand what the question is because you didn't ask a question, so I just found the difference between the 2 scores, which would be a positive 5.

Or if its asking which score is greater it would be Giovanna because her score was closer to zero than Vera's score.

two jets leave an airport at the same time in opposite directions. the first jet is traveling at 323 mph and the other at 347 mp
skelet666 [1.2K]

Remark

This may be a little confusing, but because they are travelling in opposite directions, the distances add when you want to get how far apart they are.

d1 + d2 = 1541

Equation

Let the time this happens = t

d1 = 323*t

d2 = 347*t

323*t + 347*t = 1541 Combine like terms on the left.

670t = 1541 Divide by 670

t = 1541/670

t = 2.3 hours pass before the distance of 1541 miles are between the two planes. You might need the answer to be 2 hours 18 minutes.

If possible, find AB. & State the dimension of the result.
Nikitich [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A=\begin{bmatrix}0 &0  &5 \\ 0 &0 &-3 \\ 0 &0  &3 \end{bmatrix}

B=\begin{bmatrix}8 &-12  &5 \\ 7 &19 &5 \\ 0 &0  &0 \end{bmatrix}

A.B = A × B

A.B=\begin{bmatrix}0 &0  &0 \\ 0 &0  &0 \\ 0 &0  &0 \end{bmatrix}

Dimension of the resultant matrix is (3 × 3)
