Draw a hasse diagram of the partial order < < of the set {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12} where a < < b iff b is divisible by a.
do not use horizontal line

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided set {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12}

Let the set is A.

Hence the required Hasse diagram is shown in figure 1:

In the Hasse diagram 2 and 3 are on the same level as they are not related.

The next numbers are 4, 6, 9, and 10. 4, 6 and 10 are divisible by both 2. 6 and 9 are divisible by 3. Then 8 and 12 are divisible by 4 also 12 is divisible by 6.

Hence, the required diagram of the partial order of the set {2,3,4,6,8,9,10,12} is shown in figure 1.

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.

hint: which coefficient is a multiple of 360°?
