if q,q+2,q+6 are all prime, what can be 3q+9?
Read Solution (Total 6)
-
- by trial and error method q=5
if q=5
then q+2=5+2=7
and q+6=5+6=11 are also primes
now 3q+9=(3x5)+9
=15+9
=24
so the answer is 3q+9=24 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(7) No(3)
- If q=11, then
11,13,17 are also prime.
3q+9= 42
if q=17,
17,19,23 are prime numbers.
then 3q+9= 60
so no unique solution. - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(5)
- q = 7
7+2 = 9
7+6 = 13
3q+9 : 21+9=30 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(3)
- put q=5 which satisfies the conditions then 3*5+9=24
- 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(3)
- q,q+2,q+6 all are prime
q=5 satisfies all the possibilities
so 3q+9=3(5)+9=24 - 12 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(5)
- 24
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
