15 cards = 9$
1 card = (9/15)$
12 cards = 9/15 * 12
= 108/15
= 7.2$
Step-by-step explanation:
We will prove by contradiction. Assume that
is an odd prime but n is not a power of 2. Then, there exists an odd prime number p such that
. Then, for some integer
,

Therefore

Here we will use the formula for the sum of odd powers, which states that, for
and an odd positive number
,

Applying this formula in 1) we obtain that
.
Then, as
we have that
is not a prime number, which is a contradiction.
In conclusion, if
is an odd prime, then n must be a power of 2.
Here is the equation: x+(x+20) = 120
Since you can't combine anything yet, its x+x+20=120
You need to get x by itself
Minus 20 from both sides
Its x+x=100 now
Combine the x's which is now 2x
Now divide 100 by 2 which is 50
x=50
---------------
Lets check:
50+(50+20)=120
Now combine the numbers in the parentheses
Its now 50+70=120
50+70=120 and 70-50=20
As you can see, he ran 50 minutes the first day and 70 minutes the second day
