Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, we need to isolate the variable (x)

To do this, we must get all the variables to one side of the equation, and all the numbers to the other

3x+3= -2x+13

Add 2x to both sides to "reverse" the subtraction

5x+3=13

Subtract 3 from both sides to "reverse" the addition

5x=10

Divide both sides by 5 to "reverse" the multiplication

x=2

Prove the divisibility of the following numbers:

Brut [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To prove divisibility, we need to factor the divident such that one of its factors matches the divisor.

(I use the notation x|y to denote that x divides y)

(A)

$75^{30}|45^{45}\cdot15^{15}\\45^{45}\cdot15^{15}=3^{45}\cdot 15^{45}\cdot 15^{15}=\\=3^{45}\cdot 15^{60}=3^{45}\cdot 15^{30}\cdot 15^{30}=3^{45}\cdot (3\cdot5)^{30}\cdot 15^{30}=\\=3^{45}\cdot 3^{30}\cdot(5\cdot 15)^{30}=3^{45}\cdot 3^{30}\cdot(75)^{30}\\\implies\\75^{30}|3^{45}\cdot 3^{30}\cdot75^{30}$

(B)

$72^{63}|24^{54}\cdot 54^{24}\cdot2^{10}\\24^{54}\cdot 54^{24}\cdot2^{10}=(2^{162}\cdot 3^{54})\cdot(2^{24}\cdot 3^{72}) \cdot 2^{10}\\=2^{196}\cdot 3^{126}$
