Answer: 15

Step-by-step explanation: 5+9+11+12+13+14+17=81

Make an equation based on this and solve for the variable (x)

81+x/8=12

12*8=96

81+x=96

96-81=15

x=15

Solve the following simultaneous linear congruences.
Anastaziya [24]

a. The moduli are coprime, so you can apply the Chinese remainder theorem directly. Let

x=4\cdot5+3\cdot5+3\cdot4

  • Taken mod 3, the last two terms vanish, and 20\equiv2\pmod3 so we need to multiply by the inverse of 2 modulo 3 to end up with a remainder of 1. Since 2\cdot2\equiv4\equiv1\pmod3, we multiply the first term by 2.

x=4\cdot5\cdot2+3\cdot5+3\cdot4

  • Taken mod 4, the first and last terms vanish, and 15\equiv3\pmod4. Multiply by the inverse of 3 modulo 4 (which is 3 because 3\cdot3\equiv9\equiv1\pmod4), then by 2 to ensure the proper remainder is left.

x=4\cdot5\cdot2+3\cdot5\cdot3\cdot2+3\cdot4

  • Taken mod 5, the first two terms vanish, and 12\equiv2\pmod5. Multiply by the inverse of 2 modulo 5 (3, since 3\cdot2\equiv6\equiv1\pmod5) and again by 3.

x=4\cdot5\cdot2+3\cdot5\cdot3\cdot2+3\cdot4\cdot3\cdot3

\implies x=238

By the CRT, we have

x\equiv238\pmod{3\cdot4\cdot5}\implies x\equiv-2\pmod{60}\implies\boxed{x\equiv58\pmod{60}}

i.e. any number 58+60n (where n is an integer) satisifes the system.

b. The moduli are not coprime, so we need to check for possible contradictions. If x\equiv a\pmod m and x\equiv b\pmod n, then we need to have a\equiv b\pmod{\mathrm{gcd}(m,n)}. This basically amounts to checking that if x\equiv a\pmod m, then we should also have x\equiv a\pmod{\text{any divisor of }m}.

x\equiv4\pmod{10}\implies\begin{cases}x\equiv4\equiv0\pmod2\\x\equiv4\pmod5\end{cases}

x\equiv8\pmod{12}\implies\begin{cases}x\equiv0\pmod2\\x\equiv2\pmod3\end{cases}

x\equiv6\pmod{18}\implies\begin{cases}x\equiv0\pmod2\\x\equiv0\pmod3\end{cases}

The last congruence conflicts with the previous one modulo 3, so there is no solution to this system.

A bee lands on a random point on a ruler edge. find the probability that the point is between 3 and 5.
LekaFEV [45]
It  would be 1/4 because there are 12 inches on a ruler. And if it lands between 3 and 5 there are 3 chances out of 12 that it will land between 3 and 5.  3/12 simplifies to 1/4
