If 2 is a factor of Y and 3 is a factor of Y then is 6 a factor of y. if so how PLEASE HELP I WILL MARK WHO EVER SOLVES THIS AS BRAINLIEST.

Yes, if 2 is a factor of Y and 3 is a factor of Y, 6 will be a factor of Y.

Step-by-step explanation:

I will be giving 3 examples.

Example #1: Let's say Y is 18.

2 is a factor of 18, 3 is a factor of 18, and 6 is also a factor of 18.

18 = 2 * 9

18 = 3 * 6

18 = 6 * 3

Example #2: Let's say Y is 6.

2 is a factor of 6, 3 is a factor of 6, and any positive integer (such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc...) is a factor of itself, so 6 is a factor of 6.

Example #3: Let's say Y is 40.

2 is a factor of 40, 3 is NOT a factor of 4, and 6 is also NOT a factor of 40. Any number that can be factored by 2 and 3 can also get factored by 6, no matter what.

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
