Proof by induction
Base case:
n=1: 1*2*3=6 is obviously divisible by six.
Assumption: For every n>1 n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.
For n+1:
(n+1)(n+2)(n+3)=
(n(n+1)(n+2)+3(n+1)(n+2))
We have assumed that n(n+1)(n+2) is divisble by 6.
We now only need to prove that 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6.
If 3(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6, then (n+1)(n+2) must be divisible by 2.
The "cool" part about this proof.
Since n is a natural number greater than 1 we can say the following:
If n is an odd number, then n+1 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.
If n is an even number" then n+2 is even, then n+1 is divisible by 2 thus (n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 2,so we have proved what we wanted.
Therefore by using the method of mathematical induction we proved that for every natural number n, n(n+1)(n+2) is divisible by 6. QED.

Answer:
Here's what I get.
Step-by-step explanation:
You have two conditions.
1. The club must raise at least $500, and that comes from the sale of lemonade and water.
Let c = cans of lemonade
and b = bottles of water
Then the first condition is
(1) 2c + 1.50b ≥ 500
2. The club can accept a maximum of 360 cans and bottles
Your second condition is
(2) c + b ≤ 360
Your system of inequalities is
![\left[ \begin{array}{rcl}2c + 1.50b & \geq & 500\\c+b & \leq&360\\\end{array}\right]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B%20%5Cbegin%7Barray%7D%7Brcl%7D2c%20%2B%201.50b%20%26%20%5Cgeq%20%26%20500%5C%5Cc%2Bb%20%26%20%5Cleq%26360%5C%5C%5Cend%7Barray%7D%5Cright%5D)
Answer:
42 square units
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the rectangle is the product of its length and width:
area = 6(x -8)
The area of the triangle is half the product of its base and height:
area = (1/2)(x-3)·7
These two areas are equal, so we have ...
6(x -8) = (1/2)(x -3)(7)
6x -48 = 3.5x -10.5 . . . . eliminate parentheses
2.5x = 37.5 . . . . . . . . . . . add 48 -3.5x
x = 15 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2.5
The area of the rectangle is ...
area = 6(15 -8) = 42 . . . . square units.
