Sally made the conjecture that the sum of any two prime numbers is a prime number. Which equation is a counterexample to her conjecture? A. 2 + 5 = 7 B. 2 + 11 = 13 C. 15 + 4 = 19 D. 3 + 11 = 14

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think it's B.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Ok, prime numbers are numbers that have no other multiples other than 1 and itself. For example: 7 is a prime number because it only has factors of 7 and 1.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ye.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Nope, not B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Why not?

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Sally said that the outcome would be a prime number, but we're trying to find a counterexample, meaning an example that proves her wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ah! Thank you. Then it's D.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

No problem! And yes, you'e correct. *throws confetti in the air* yaaaaay cx

The 'Number Line' question was incorrect.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

:o Which answer did you choose?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

D.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It was B.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Welp. I have to retake ity.

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):

Oh I see xD I thought you put 2 points away from fraction \[1\frac{ 4 }{ 5 }\]

OpenStudy (chantysquirrel1129**):
