Any odd multiple of 3 would be the counterexample of the given conjecture.

That is 3(2n - 1), for any natural number n, will be divisible by 3 but not divisible by 6 as 2 is not a factor.

Examples:

3(3) = 9

3(5) = 15

3(7) = 21 are some examples.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

START: 4x + 10 = - 26 ⇔ 4x = - 36 ⇔ x = - 9

$\frac{1}{2}$ x + 13 = 9 ⇔ $\frac{1}{2}$ x = - 4 ⇔ x = 8

$\frac{3}{4}$ x - 9 = 27 ⇔ $\frac{3}{4}$ x = 36 ⇔ x = 48

9 - 2x = 35 2x = - 35 + 9 ⇔ x = - 13

$\frac{2}{3}$ x + 15 = 17 ⇔ $\frac{2}{3}$ x = 2 ⇔ x = 3

- 5x - 10 = 10 ⇔ 5x = - 20 ⇔ x = - 4

Now is your turn. You can do it!!!

1. -10=xy+z, solve for x please? 2. h-4/j =k, solve for j please?

ANEK [815]

Answer:

$x=\frac{-10-z}{y}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Subtract z from both sides.

$-10-z=xy$

2 Divide both sides by y

$\frac{-10-z}{y} =x$

3 Switch sides.

$x=\frac{-10-z}{y}$

2nd question

Answer: $j=-\frac{4}{k-h}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1 Subtract h from both sides

$-\frac{4}{j} =k-h$

2 Multiply both sides by j.

$-4=(k-h)j$

3 Divide both sides by k−h.

$-\frac{4}{k-h}=j$

4 Switch sides.

$j=-\frac{4}{k-h}$
