For how many three digit numbers (100 to 999) is the sum of the digits even? (For example, 343 has an even sum of digits: 3 + 4 + 3 = 10 which is even.) Find the answer and explain why it is correct in at least two different ways.

there are 425 numbers of three digits whose the sum of the digits is even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option 1:

It is necessary to accomplish one of the next conditions:

(1) all of the digits are even.

(2) exactly 2 of the digits are odd

Then, for the first condition:

4x5x5 = 100 -> this is because the first digit can not be 0.

for the second condition:

(3C1)*5*5*5-1*5*5 =3*125-25=350

where 3C1 is a combination.  The 3C1 determines which of the three digits is even, and it is necessary to subtract the numbers under 100 with the other 2 digits odd.

So, there are 450 numbers of three digits whose the sum of the digits is even.

Option 2:

there are 900 three digit number and 5*5*5 =125 has 3 odd numbers and 5*5*5+4*5*5+4*5*5=325 has 1 odd number, so there are 450 numbers of three digits whose the sum of the digitis is odd, so 900-450 whose the sum of the digits is even.

infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

we have been given the equation;

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

we need to determine the value of x.

2(2x + 3), we expand this expression to obtain 4x + 6

similarly 2(2x + 5) will become 4x + 10

now we have;

4x + 6 = -4 + 4x + 10

4x + 6 = 4x + 10 - 4

4x + 6 = 4x + 6

the expression on the left hand side is identical to the one on the right hand side. therefore, we are looking at just a single straight line whose equation is;

y = 4x + 6

consequently, we shall have infinitely many solutions
