Please note:
1) Ask only one question per post.
2) When asking a question talk about what you have tried for yourself. Then people will take you more seriously and will be more able and willing to help.
3) If you get an answer lee mas ..

Remeniscing - a little historical humour.

Can you give me an example of where you think the 5 will work?

I deleted all the previous stuff.

I believe it will only work when the last digit is 0.
Do you want to see some logic behind it?

"Which integers have the following property? If the final digit is deleted, the integer is divisible by the new number?

Any integer with a 0 on the end would work.

Identify the solution(s) of the system of equations, if any -3x-4y=2 8y=-6x-4

These are both lines
If you try to solve them simulltaneously you will get no answer.

If you rearrange them to get the gradients you will find that they both have a gradient of 3/4
This means that they are parallel. They will never bump into each other.

When you solve 2 equations simultaneously you are finding where they are both true at the same time. This is also where they will cross over when they are graphed.
These two curves (which just happen to be lines) will never meet therefore they have no simultaneous solution.

Okay, I have consulted an expert and this is my feedback.

I am going to experiment with a specific example.
g(x) = 1/x
from g(x) x cannot be 0

f(x) = 3/(x+2)
from f(x) x cannot be -2 (THIS IS NOT RELEVANT)

f(g(x))= 3/ (1/x +2)
x can't be 0
1/x can't be -2 therefore x can't be -1/2

So, x is not defined at -1/2 or 0 (but it is defined at -2)

So the restrictions are from g(x) and from f(g(x)) but not from f(x)

5x-2(x+1)=2-(x-5)

hint - this is a different question
3-(x-5)
=3+ -1(x-5)
=3+ -1*x + -1*-5
=3 + -x ++5
=3-x+5
=3+5-x
=8-x

-(x+8) = -x-8
-(-2+5) = +2-5
etc

sqrt 75 = sqrt (25*3) = sqrt 25 * sqrt3

and you can finish it.
