amistre64 · Answer

from the information that is stated in the problem, what part or parts of it do you now understand?

ok,  lets call it an "n"  which is a good representation of it.  "n" means AND  it is asking for what elements are the same in each defined set

amistre64 · Answer

the solution will contain values that are even; and divisible by 3 .. nothing else

anonymous · Answer

ok

amistre64 · Answer

so which option has only even numbers,  which are divisible by 3?

anonymous · Answer

(3,6,9,12)?

amistre64 · Answer

no, but a good guess.  3 and 9 are not even numbers.  6 and 12 are

anonymous · Answer

oh yea so its 6 and 12 thats it
