Answer:  The proof is done below.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to prove that the following statement is true :

"For every natural number n, n^5+4n is a multiple of 5."

We will prove the above statement by MATHEMATICAL INDUCTION.

Let n = 1. Then, we get

n^5+4n=1^5+4\times5=5, a multiple of 5.

Let n = 2. Then, we get

n^5+4n=2^5+4\times2=40, a multiple of 5.

Let the statement be true for n = m, where m is a natural number.

So,

m^5+4m=5k, for any natural number k.

Then,

(m+1)^5+4(m+1)\\\\=m^5+5m^4+10m^3+10m^2+5m+1+4m+4\\\\=(m^5+4m)+5m^4+10m^3+10m^2+5m+5\\\\=5k+5(m^4+2m^3+2m^2+m+1)\\\\=5(k+m^4+2m^3+2m^2+m+1), which is a multiple of 5.

Therefore, if the statement is true for n = m, then it is true for n = m+1.

That is, the statement is true for all natural numbers n.

Hence proved.

Given: 3x+7+2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) -4 prove: x=-2
denis23 [38]

Answer:

x = -2, proven below.

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 7 + 2(4x+1) = 3(x-1) - 4

3x + 7 + 8x + 2 = 3x - 3 - 4

9 + 11x = 3x - 7

16 + 11x = 3x

16 = - 8x

-2 = x
