Question

The remainder when m+n is divided by 12 is 8, and the remainder when m-n is divided by 12 is 6.If m>n,then what is the remainder when mn divided by 6?​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$first \: we \: solve$

m+n=8

m-n=6

$simultaneously$

m=7

n=1

because by telling m be the subject from equations 2

m=6+n

then we put into m+n =8

6+n+n=8

2n=8-6

2n=2

n=1

m=6+n

m=7

n=1

Answer 2

Answer:

ATQ, least possible values of m+n = 8 and m-n = 6

Solving for m and n will give m=7 and n=1

So, mn = 7*1 =7 leaves remainder 1 when divided by 6.
