If x and y are positive integers and x = 5y + 7, what is the remainder when x is divided by 5?  Choose the correct choice from the following: A) 0 B) 1 C) 2 D) 3 E) 4
This question asks what IS...(the answer), so we know that the answer will be consistent. As such, we can TEST VALUES to quickly get the solution.   We're told that X and Y are POSITIVE INTEGERS and X = 5Y + 7. We're asked for the REMAINDER when X is divided by 5.   IF....   Y = 1   X = 12   12/5 = 2 remainder 2   Final Answer:   2
