Hi, my Name is Lucas and I'm relatively new here.

I have found a question in a set of flashcards that I cannot find a quick answer for. Plugging in the numbers seems way too time intensive (way over 3 minutes for me).
does someone have a quicker fix ?

If $$x^2=y+5$$, $$y=z-2$$ and$$z=2x$$, is $$x^3+y^2+z$$ divisible by 7 ?

x>0
y=4

after plugging in everything it just becomes a crazy long intricate function (for me at least). I got to the answer but it took way too long.

Hope it helps.
