Question

When y = 0.4, the value of 10y + 2 is an even number because 10 ⋅ 0.4 + 2 = 6 Write a value for y so that 10y + 2 is a prime number. y =

Answer 1

Answer:

For $y=0.1$ the value is a prime number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$y=0.4$

$10y + 2$ is an even number.

We need to find the value of y for which value of equation is prime number.

Solution:

Let us assume that $y=0.1$

Substituting the value in given equation we get;

$10y+2\\\\=10\times 0.1+2\\\\=1+2\\\\=3$

Which is  a prime number.

Hence We can say that for $y=0.1$ the value is a prime number.
