Algebra.Com's Answer #509217 by Edwin McCravy(20060)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Or you can look at it like this: \n" ); document.write( "` \n" ); document.write( "It's divisible by 2, so it's even, so that narrows it down to \n" ); document.write( "30 and 74. When divided by 3 it leaves a remainder of 2 so \n" ); document.write( "it's 2 more than a multiple of 3. 30 is 2 more than 28, but \n" ); document.write( "that's not a multiple of 3, but 74 is 2 more than 72, which \n" ); document.write( "is a multiple of 3, so the answer is 74. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
