- if p and k are prims than p=2a+1 and k=2b+1 , with a and b naturale numbers graters or equales 1, so than p+k=(2a+1)+(2b+1)=2a+2b+2=2(a+b+1) so from this resulted that the sum of two primes is always even. - so than there is p+k=2(a+b+1) True or False ?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

your definitions for p & k don't allow them to be 2... which is prime

OpenStudy (anonymous):

false

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

2+3= 5 , which is odd if p & k are greater than 2 and prime, only then their sums must be even

OpenStudy (anonymous):

p and k are always odd, but not always prime. However, the sum of p and k are always even number

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes sure sorry p and k are primes grater than 2 so than is true ?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so i think that this wann to be the prove of definition that the sum of two primes grater than two will be always even this is true ?

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

Yes

OpenStudy (paxpolaris):

All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd. Sum of two odd numbers is even. So sum of 2 prime #s greater than 2 is even
