Prove that for any natural n the number 3^(n+4)−3n is divisible by 16.

Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Prove that for any natural number 3^(n+4)-3n is divisible by 16.

(I'm going to assume that you mean 3^(n+4)-3^n.)

1. We can break up 3^(n+4)-3n into 3^n * 3^4-3^n (by the rule a^b*a^c = a^b+c).

2. Solve to get 3^n * 81 - 3^n

3. Factor out the 3^n, and you'll get 3^n(81-1), and simplify: 3^n(80)

        You may notice that 80 is divisible by 16.

4. Rewrite what we got from the last step as: 3^n*5(16).

Hope this helped you!

son4ous [18]
Take second equation here, 
2x + 9 = -12
2x = -12 - 9
2x = -21
Multiply by 2, 
4x = -42

Now, substitute the vaue of 4x in 1st equation, 
-42 - y = 2
-y = 2 + 42
y = -44

In short, Your Answer would be -44
