Questions and Answers

Which equation has a solution where $X = 170$ and $Y = 357?

  • $540X + 630Y = 270$
  • $170X + 357 = 34$ (correct)
  • $6630X + 7956Y = 1326$
  • $23716X + 75460Y = 6468$
  • If $b$ divides the difference $r - s$, where $0 \leq r \leq b$ and $0 \leq s \leq b$, then what can be concluded about $r$ and $s?

  • $r$ and $s$ can be either equal or different
  • $r$ and $s$ must be equal (correct)
  • $r$ and $s$ must be different
  • No conclusion can be drawn about the relationship between $r$ and $s

  • $c$ divides $a - b$ if and only if $a$ and $b$ have different remainders after division by $c$
  • $c$ divides $a - b$ if and only if $a$ and $b$ have the same remainder after division by $c$ (correct)
  • $c$ divides $a - b$ if and only if $a$ and $b$ are both multiples of $c$
  • $c$ divides $a - b$ if and only if $a$ and $b$ are both divisible by $c$
