Proving a relation for all natural numbers involves proving it for n = 1 and showing that it holds for n + 1 if it is assumed that it is true for any n.
The relation 2+4+6+...+2n = n^2+n has to be proved.
If n = 1, the right hand side is equal to 2*1 = 2 and the left hand side is equal to 1^1 + 1 = 1 + 1 = 2
Assume that the relation holds for any value of n.
2 + 4 + 6 + ... + 2n + 2(n+1) = n^2 + n + 2(n + 1)
= n^2 + n + 2n + 2
= n^2 + 2n + 1 + n + 1
= (n + 1)^2 + (n + 1)
This shows that the given relation is true for n = 1 and if it is assumed to be true for n it is also true for n + 1.
<span>By mathematical induction the relation is true for any value of n.</span>

Answer:
6 fingers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let X = the base of the numbers above
If X > 0
Then we have:
325 = 3 * X² + 2 * X¹ + 5 * X°
325 = 3X² + 2X + 5
42 = 4*X¹ + 2*X°
42 = 4X+ 2
And
411 = 4*X²+ 1*X¹ 1*X°
42 = 4X² + X + 1
Since 325 + 42= 11 then
3X² + 2X + 5 + 4X+ 2 = 4X² + X + 1 ------ Collect Like Terms
3X² - 4X² + 2X + 4X - X + 5 + 2 - 1 = 0
-X² + 5X + 6 = 0 ------- Multiply both sides by -1
X² - 5X - 6 = 0 ------- Factorise the Equation
X² - 6X + X - 6 = 0
X(X - 6) + 1( X - 6) = 0
(X + 1)(X - 6) = 0
X + 1 = 0 or X - 6 = 0
X = -1 or X = 6
But X>0
So, X =-1 is invalid
X = 6
