To check for divisibility by 3 just check if the sum of all the digits in the number are divisible by 3. If so, the number itself must also be divisible by 3. For example, is 1,529 divisible by 3? Well, the sum of the digits of 1,529 is 1+5+2+9=17. Since 17 is not divisible by 3, we can conclude that 1,529 is also not divisible by 3. How about 1,530? Well, this time the sum is 1+5+3+0=9. Since 9 is divisible by 3, we know that 1,530 is divisible by 3 too.
In this problem, since we are trying to find Sam's monthly net income, we just need to multiply his weekly net income (which is after all the deductions come out) by how many times he gets paid! Because he gets paid 4 times, we just need to multiply $654.48 by 4! The you should get an answer of $2617.92, which is Sam's monthly net income!
The vertical angles are congruent (or equal) so,
32 = 2x
2x = 32
2x/2 = 32/2 ..... dividing both sides by 2
x = 16 which is the answer
