Consider this option (this is not the only way):
1. according to the condition 2345N is divisible by <em>6</em>, it means, that N is even number (0;2;4;6 or 8).
2. <em>6</em>=3*2, then the number 2345N is divisible by 3 also. It means, that the number (2+3+4+5+N)=(14+N) is divisible by 3, where N={0|2|4|6|8}.
3. using items 1 and 2:
(14+4)=18; only 18 is divided by 3, it means that N=4.
answer: 4.
Note also, that only 23451; 23454 and 23457 are divided by 3. Only 2345<u>4</u> is divided by 6 (2345<u>4</u>/6=3909).
So basically 42=x times 64 or 42=64x where you want x to be represented as a fraction so just don't simplify as much
42=64x
divide both sdies by 64
42/64=64/64x
42/64=1x
x=42/64
simplify
42/64=21/32
the answer is 21/32 in simplest form
Use what we know to make equations in order to solve for each governor's salary.
A=governor of state A
B=governor of state B
A+b=283,910. (Their salaries combined)
A=B+50,440 (A earns 50,440 more than B)
Sub A into the original formula to solve for B
B+50,440+b=283,910
2B=283,910-50,440
2B=233,470
B=116,730
Sub B into the formula that's equal to A
A=B+50,440
A=116,735+50,440
A=167,175
I hope this helps!
14 hundreds, 10 tens, and 2 ones.
