Question

A number 6x +8y is divisible by 8 where x and y are positive integers. if x and y take least values then the value of x+y=​

Answer 1

6x+8y÷8

0.75x+y

X+y= -0.75

Answer 2

Answer:

The sum of least value of x , y  is 1 so that number 6 x + 8 y is divisible by 8 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

A number is 6 x + 8 y

As per question , 6 x + 8 y is divisible by 8

The least value of x and y

i.e for x = 0 , y = 1

The number is (6 × 0 + 8 ×1)

Or, for least value of x , y The number = 0 + 8

Or,  for least value of x , y The number = 8

Now, clearly , number 8 is divisible by 8

Thus The sum of least value of x , y = 0 + 1 = 1

Hence, The sum of least value of x , y  is 1 so that number 6 x + 8 y is divisible by 8 . Answer
