Answer:  The number is:  349 .
______________________________
Explanation:
____________
Let "x" represent the number we wish to find:
____________________________
Given: "When a number ("x") is divided by "13", the remainder is "11".
________________________________
As such,
_________________
 → x = 13p + 11 ;
_______________________
Given: "When the same number ("x") is divided by "17", the remainder is "9".
As such: 
______________________
 → x = 17q + 9
________________________
Since x = 13p + 11 ; and x = 17q + 9 ; 
___________________________
 → 13p + 11 = 17q + 9 ;    → Subtract "13p" and subtract "11" from EACH side of the equation;
__________________________

 → 13p + 11 − 13p − 11 = 17q − 13p + 9 − 11 ; 

to get: 

___________________________________

→ 0 = 17q − 13p − 2 ; ↔ 17q − 13p − 2 = 0 ; 

→ Add "2" to each side of the equation; 

  → 17q − 13p − 2 + 2 = 0 + 2 ;

  → to get:  17q − 13p = 2 ; 

_____________________

Now, solve for "q", by isolating "q" on one side of the equation:

______________________

→ We have: 17q − 13p = 2 ; 

→ Add "13p" to EACH side of the equation:  17q − 13p + 13p = 2 + 13p ;

→ to get: 17q = 2 + 13p ;

→Now, divide EACH side of the equation by "17"; to isolate "q" on one side of the question, and to solve for "q" ;

____________________________

→  17q / 17 = (2 + 13p) / 17 ;

 → q = (2 + 13p) /17

The  value of "p" for which "[(2 + 13p) /17]" i<span>s a whole number is:
 "26" (p = 26) ;  How do we get this?  We know that "q" should be greater than "1", so we can start with "p = 2";  we get: 13*p = 13*2 = 26, which happens to be a whole number, "26", at the lowest possible value of "p". So we do not have to work with more complicated methods.
</span><span>
___________________
So, since we have: 
___________________
</span>x = 13p + 11 ;  

→ We can plug in our value of "26" for "p", and solve for "x" ;

→ x = (13*26) + 11 ; 

→ x = (338)  + 11 ; 

→ x  = 349;  which is our answer.

_____________________________

Let us check our answer.

_____________________

Given: 

<span>"When a number is divided by 13 the remainder is 11."

So, when 349 is divided by 13, is the remainder, "11"??
(i.e. 349 </span>÷ 13 =? a whole number value PLUS (11/13)???

→ 349 ÷ 13 = 26.8461538461538462 ; 

and: 11/13 = 0.8461538461538462 ; so, YES!
_________________________________________
When 349 is divided by 17, is the remainder "9"?
(i.e. does 349 ÷ 17 = a whole number value, PLUS (9/17)??
___________________
→ 349 ÷ 17 = 20.5294117647058824 ;

→ 9 ÷ 17 = 0.5294117647058824; so, YES!

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Land-Augmenting Technological Change: As is known land is inelastic in its supply, therefore, some techniques might help to augment land availability. Thus, the biological, chemical and technical changes introduced in agriculture are referred as land-augmenting technological change. Farmers and others who come in contact with air, water, and soils polluted by chemical fertilizers and pesticides may face negative health consequences, for instance. By impacting components of the ecosystem, these practices affect the health of plants and animals living within the ecosystem with can spark wants and needs for change in technological argriculture.
