Find the sum of a number and 6 is five less than twice the number?
x = 11
What number is greater than 43 and less than 52 and the sum is 8?
44
Is the sum of two numbers is always greater than either of the two numbers?
Consider 4 cases 1. The sum of any two positive numbers is clearly greater than either number. 2. The sum of any two negative numbers is LESS than either of the two numbers. ( (Look at -2+(-3)=-5 .) 3. The sum of any negative number and a positive number is always greater than the negative number but less than the positive number. (Look at -2+3=1, or -5+3=-2) 4. The sum of any number and 0 is that number so it is not greater. So it appears that the sum of any two numbers is greater than either of the two numbers when the two number are both positive.
How can you tell whether the sum of two fractions with a common denominator is greater than one?
A fraction is greater than one if the the top number (numerator) is greater than the lower number (denominator).
Prove that if every even natural number greater than 2 is the sum of two primes then every odd natural number greater than 5 is the sum of three primes?
Given an arbitrary odd natural number greater than five, x, let y = x - 3, then y is an even number greater than 2. By assumption we have that y is the sum of two primes, say y1 and y2, but then x = y1 + y2 + 3 (which is the sum of three primes).
