Question

If x is a positive integer such that 2x + 12 is perfectly divisible by x, then the number of possible values of x is

Answer 1

2x+12=0
2x=-12
x=-12/2
x= -6

Answer 2

Answer:

possible values of x = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the question x is a positive integer number. So the quotient has be the positive integer number. And if the 2x + 12 is perfectly divisible by x then 12 is also divisible by x.

The numbers which are greater than 12, can not be perfectly divisible by 12. Possible numbers have to be less than 12.

So the possible numbers are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12
