Answer:
x=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
factoring we get
(x + 2)(x + 1) / (x + 1)(x + 1)
The excluded value is x = -1
Let's consider two prime numbers where each is larger than 2
Say the primes 7 and 11. Adding them gets us 7+11 = 18. This counter example disproves the initial claim since 18 = 9*2 = 6*3 making 18 composite (not prime)
In general, if we let p and q be two primes such that q > p > 2 and q is the next prime after p, then p and q are both odd. If any of them were even then they wouldn't be prime (2 would be a factor)
Adding any two odd numbers together leads to an even number
Proof:
p = 2k+1 where k is some integer
q = 2m+1 where m is some integer
p+q = 2k+1+2m+1 = 2(k+m) + 2 = 2(k+m+1) which is in the form of an even number
That proof above shows us that adding any prime larger than 2 to its next prime up leads to an even number. This further shows us that the claim is false overall. It is only true if you restrict yourself to the primes 2 and 3, which add to 5. Otherwise, the claim is false.
Answer:
the correct answer would be 5
Step-by-step explanation:
when c=7, then we put that value in for c in the equation c-2
c-2
(7)-2
5
Answer:
-0.274
Step-by-step explanation:
You could just use the calculator, BUT if you want to use pencil paper you have to align them decimal over decimal:
-2.074
