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!

Rasek [7]

Explanation:

Ethics is a very important part in our daily lives. Ethics plays a vital role in a public speaking situation. An ethical public speaker should always be honest and should avoid plagiarism by taking his notes during the research process, identifying the sources, and ten deciding when it is suitable to cite the sources.

The ethical public speakers also also cite the sources properly by understanding how to paraphrase and then directly quote the sources.

In the context, if I lost the citation information for an important source for my  speech, I will paraphrase the information and avoid plagiarism and as an ethical speaker I will mention that the abstract has been taken from an external source but the citation information was lost.
