d( k+1) is only true when d(k) is true ,  d(1) should also be true for d(k+1) statement to be true.

<h3>What is Mathematical Induction ?</h3>

For each and every natural number n, mathematical induction is a method of demonstrating a statement, theorem, or formula that is presumed to be true.

It is given that

the statement is true for n = k

According to the principle of Mathematical Induction

Let d(n) be a statement involving Natural Number n such that

  • \rm d(1) \;is\; true

  • \rm d(m) \;is\; true

  • \rm d(m +1)\; is\; true

So ,  the statement d(n) is true for all the n natural numbers.

According to the second principle of Mathematical Induction

Let d(n) be a statement involving Natural number n such that

  • \rm d(1) \;is\; true

  • \rm d(m) \;is\; true when \rm d(n) is true for all n where 1 ≤ n ≤m .

  • Then the statement \rm d(n) is true for all the values of n ( natural number)

Therefore , d( k+1) is only true when d(k) is true , also d(1) should also be true.

(12 x 2) - 5 because twice as many means to multiply by 2. fewer means to subtract.

A merchant bought some shirts for $120. The next day the price charged for each shirt was reduced by $1. The merchant calculated
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The merchant buys 30 shirts originally.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume that the merchant bought x numbers of shirts in $120.

So, the cost for each shirt is $\frac{120}{x}.

Now, if the cost for each shirt is reduced by 1$, then he would have bought 10 shirts more i.e. (x + 10) shirts in $120.

So, we can write the following equation as  

(\frac{120}{x} - 1)(x + 10) = 120

⇒(120 - x)(x + 10) = 120x

⇒ 120x - 10x + 1200 - x² = 120x

⇒ x² +10x - 1200 = 0

⇒ x² + 40x - 30x - 1200 = 0

⇒(x + 40)(x - 30) = 0

⇒ x = - 40 or x = 30

But x can not be negative.

Hence, the merchant buys 30 shirts originally. (Answer)
