Well...you have to be even....and you have to be divisible by 3 and 6

The only possibilties are 248, 252.

And it isn't 248 because that number isn't divisible by 9. (The sum of the digits of a number have to be divisible by 9 for that number to be divisible by 9.)

So you're 252.

Proof by factoring:

252

126 x 2

63 X 2 x 2

9 x 7 x 2 x 2

3 x 3 x 7 x 2 x 2

Note that 2.3,4,6 and 9 all divide this.

Now.......we're going to sew your number inside your coat so you won't forget it, again!!

Hi Chilledz3non,

Thanks you for your good manners.  

If you are totally happy with your answer why don't you give CPhill a thumbs up as well.  He'd really like that.

If you are not entirely happy tell us why   

You're welcome....I'm guessing that book must be the "Large Print Edition".....

I'm sorry, lol. I took a picture of the page with my phone. I didn't think it would be THIS big. Thank you so much for helping me!

WOW.....that's a REALLY BIG PICTURE!!!

Two sides of the triangle are equal,  so the angles opposite these sides are equal, too. And since the angle opposite one of the equal sides is 35, the angle opposite the other equal side = 35. And by the Exterior Angle Theorem, the central angle represented by "B°' is equal to the sum of the two remote interior angles of the triangle = (35 + 35).

Thus, B° = 70.

The meeses look up to you, and shake their heads in wonder. Not for your intelligence, but for your humility. It takes a humble soul to admit a problem with simple arithmetic.

I answered this same question 9 hours earlier !!   ???????

I don't know if you possibly mean something like this, or not:

(5/3)n = (6/7)     But if you do.......multiply both sides by (3/5)   this gives us

n = (6/7)(3/5)    And multiplying the fractions, we have

n = 18/35

If you have a specific problem in mind, send it to us, and we'll see i we can help you!!

ok it is a simultaneous equations question

Let the number of get well boxes be W

Let the number of thank you boxes be T

W+T=17   ==> W=17-T (1)

7T+9W=135  (2)

Now can you solve it yourself?

Sub the (1) into (2)    etc

I think the "1" is supposed to be a factorial. I believe we're evaluating C(10,5)

10!/(5!(10-5)!) = 10!/ (5!*5!) = 252

And that's it!!

Thank you Zegroes

Factoring out a 3n, we have

3n(n^2 + 3n -28) So, we're looking for two terms that multiply to -28 and sum to +3.

+7 and -4 come to mind....So we have

3n(n + 7)(n - 4)

And that's all!!

Cool. It’s the right answer, too!

Here’s another:

A small particle escaping earth’s gravity, slows to a constant speed of 2.86 outhouses per fortnight. How many Microcenturies will pass before it travels a parsec? Here ‘s list of measurements.

The sum of the first term is 120?

I think that there is a number missing here!

u first use some simple number to sub. for your veriable, such as x=0 x=1 x=-1 to find the value of y. then graph the points and connect the dots

Change 33.3333% into a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left.

 .333333 * 600

199.9998 is your answer.

The German owns the fish.

So we have

80000 = A(1.03)³⁰     .......where A is the current salary

Divide both sides by (1.03)³⁰      So we have

80000/(1.03)³⁰ = 32958.94 ≈ $32.959

Because it helps you notate very large numbers in a simple way.

So....getting "at least" two kings means getting two kings, three kings or all four

The number of ways to get two kings is to choose any two of them and, from the other 48 cards, choose any two of them - since we're drawing four altogether. So we have

nCr(4, 2)*nCr(48, 2) = 6768 ways to do this

The number of ways to get three kings is to choose any three of them and, from the other 48 cards, choose any one of them.  So we have

nCr(4,3)*nCr(48, 1) = 192 ways

And the number of ways to choose all four kings is to take all of them = 1 way.

So, adding all these up we have 6768 + 192 + 1 = 6961

1 Inch = 2.54 Centimeters

15+2x=x^2       Subtract 15 + 2x from each side, we get

0 = x^2 - 2x - 15     Now, let's factor the right side

0 = (x -5) (x +3)      And setting each of these to 0, we get

x = 5  and x = -3

And that's it!

Just divide (2+ 1/2) by (1/8)      ....    so we get

5/2 / 1/8       And inverting the second fracction and multiplying, we have

5/2 * 8/1 = 40 / 2    = 20 glasses

2.5 / 0.125 = 20 glasses

So, adding 1 to both sides, we have

2sin(x) = 1   Divide both sides by 2

sin(x) = 1/2  So this is a 30° angle in the first quadrant or a 30° angle in the second quadrant, i.e., 150°.

A general solution, in terms of degree measure, would be x = 30 + 360n   or  x = 150 + 360n
