Divisibility rules with algebra

D=8

Step-by-step explanation:

normal division rules

33 goes into 47 1 time

then it leaves 17D

if we divide 170 by 33, we get 5 and if we divide 179 by 33, we still get 5. So we have 17D-165. That leaves us with something that you multiply 33 with to have a 2 in the ones place so that you get a remainder of 2. (In order to get 2 in the remainder, we need a 2 in the ones place because 4-2=2. In order to get that we need to see which number multiplied with 33 would get us a number smaller than 179 but also has a 2 in the ones place. Theres only one number and thats 4. 33*4=132. So in order to get only 2 in the remainder, we need the rest to be subtracted. This means that 17D-165=134. This way we can see that D=8
