Which equation has solution x = -3?

1 answer:

4 0

A) 2x - 7 = -1

Add 7 to both sides of the equation.

2x = 6

x = 3

Choice A is not the answer.

B) 3x + 8 = 1

Subtract 8 from both sides.

3x = -7

Divide both sides by 3.

x = -2.3 repeating

Choice B is not the answer.

C) 1/2x + 8 = 10

1/2x = 2

Divide both sides by 1/2.

x = 4

Choice C is not the answer.

By process of elimination, choice D is the answer.

D) 1/2(2x - 6) = -6

x - 3 = -6

Add 3 to both sides.

x = -3

When n is divided by 12,the remainder is 6.What is the remainder when n is divided by 6?

trapecia [35]

For some number to be divisible by 12 it has to be divisible by 6 and by 2.
we can write number n as:

n = 6 + 12*k where k is positive integer.
If we divide n by 12 we will get remainder 6 because 12*k part is divisible by 12.
The part 12*k is as said divisible by 12 which means it is divisible by 6 (as first stated) and it has remainder 0. That leaves us with 6/6 which again has 0 as remainder. That means that number n is divisible by 6

The answer is 0
