Analysis It works for any prime number greater than 3!!

Solution/Answer I will use the prime number 5. 5^2=25 so that we can see the remainder is 1 because 25=12*2+1.

Analysis k=12q+3 or use any number for k such as 12

Solution/Answer Why don't u plug in the k into each statement? (1)2k=2(12q+3)=12*2q+6 (2)6k=6(12q+3)=12*6q+18 (3)4k+6=4(12q+3)+6=12*4q+18

Analysis The remainder is always less than the divider 7.

Solution/Answer The remainders are less than 7. (1) The range only tells u that the difference between biggest and smallest. (2) If the seven numbers are consecutive, the remainder should be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6 so that we can find the sum.

Analysis X can be expressed as x=y*q+9 (y>9)

Solution/Answer I will use the property of integer and y>9 to solve the question. x/y= q+9/y = 96.12 Here, 9/y is less than 1 so that 9/y=.12 Therefore, y =9/.12 =75
