Joseph has a collection of stickers. When the stickers are aranged in piles of 3, there are 2 stickers left over. When the stickers are aranged in piles of 4, there are 2 stickers left over. When the stickers are arranged in piles of 12, how many stickers are left over?

2 stickers will be left over

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer the question, all you need to do is figure out at what value of stickers would the remaining stickers be equal to 2 if the piles are made up of either 3 to a set or 4 to a set. To do this, we need to figure out the size of the whole set of stickers.

Lets assume that the total number of stickers is 14. Lets test the 2 given conditions. If we divide it in piles of 3 then we will have a pile of 12 stickers (4 piles of 3 stickers each) with 2 stickers remaining.

Lets test the second condition. If we divide it in piles of 4, we will again have 12 stickers (3 piles of 4 stickers each) with 2 stickers remaining.

Now that both conditions have been satisfied, all we have to do is see how many stickers are left if we make a pile of 12 stickers. In this case, we will have just one pile of 12 stickers and, again, we will be left with 2 stickers.

Therefore, the answer is 2 stickers

the central idea is that:

individuals should refuse to cooperate with institutions they believe unjust.

thoreau felt  that governments were more often agents of corruption than justice, even democracies, and that just because the majority feels a certain way does not make it just or correct in absolute terms. he uses the fact that slavery exists in our democracy to support this idea.

he goes on to say that, as a result, people should live true to their own internal laws regarding right and wrong, as a product of reflection and a moral life, rather than following every law that society imposes.

step-by-step explanation:

to find if any function is an inverse of the other, put the first equation in as x in the next one. then simplify and solve. if at the end you get the statement y = x, then it is an inverse. if you get anything else, it is not.
