How many five-digit positive integers, divisible by 9, can be written using only the digits 3 and 6?
Well, to start, first go over the divisibility rule of 9: add up all digits and if the sum is divisible by nine, then the number is divisible by nine.
then you should see how many ways you can add up to 9, 18, and 27 using only the addends of 6 and 3, and only 5 addends.
for ex: 3+3+3+6+3
four 3s and only one 6.
you can arrange four 3s and one 6 five ways:
63333
36333
33633
33363
