HELP MEEEEE PLEASEEEEEE
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

x=16\dfrac{28}{37}\\ \\y=5\dfrac{1}{3}\\ \\z=7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows three paralel lines which divide the large triangle into three similar triangles.

By Thales theorem,

\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}

Then

\dfrac{5}{z}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 2z=15,\ z=7.5\\ \\\dfrac{y}{8}=\dfrac{2}{3}\Rightarrow 3y=16,\ y=\dfrac{16}{3}=5\dfrac{1}{3}

From the similarity of triangles,

\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{z+8}{z+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{7.5+8}{7.5+8+3}\\ \\\dfrac{x}{20}=\dfrac{15.5}{18.5}\\ \\x=20\cdot \dfrac{155}{185}=20\cdot \dfrac{31}{37}=\dfrac{620}{37}=16\dfrac{28}{37}

Find the smallest positive integer n such that the digit sum of n is divisible by 5, and the digit sum of n +1 is also divisible
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

139,999

Step-by-step explanation:

If the digit sum of n is divisible by 5, the digit sum of n+1 can't physically be divisble by 5, unless we utilise 9's at the end, this way whenever we take a number in the tens (i.e. 19), the n+1 will be 1 off being divisble, so if we take a number in the hundreds, (109, remember it must have as many 9's at the end as possible) the n+1 will be 2 off being divisble, so continuing this into the thousands being three, tenthousands being 4, the hundred thousands will be 5 off (or also divisble by 5). So if we stick a 1 in the beginning (for the lowest value), and fill the last digits with 9's, we by process of elimination realise that the tenthousands digit must be 3 such that the digit sum is divisible by 5, therefore we get 139,999
