Answer:

The correct answer would be 12, which isn't one of your options.

Step-by-step explanation:

When finding direct variation, you start with the base equation.

y = kx

Now we can use the initial values of x and y to find k.

-3 = k(18)

-1/6 = k

Now with the value of k, we can model the equation.

y = -1/6x

And we can find the new x by using our new value of y.

-2 = -1/6x

12 = x

Take any three digit number. Reverse its digits and subtract the smaller of the two numbers from the larger. Determine what numb
rjkz [21]

Answer: 11 is the required number that always divides such differences for the following types of numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Take any 3 - digit number, say, 325

On reversing its digit it becomes, 523

On subtracting the smaller of the two numbers from the larger,523-325\\\\=198

we can see that 198 is an even number.

take another number say, 629

On reversing its digit, it becomes = 926

On subtracting , we get that

926-629=297

But 297 is not an even number.

But there is one common in both the cases is that both the differences are divisible by 11.

Hence, 11 is the required number that always divides such differences for the following types of numbers.
