Question

Suppose you are given that p = 2q+1 and that p = 8.

Which of the following statements can you prove?
p+1=29
p+q=9
2q+1=8
p+8=9

Answer 1

We conclude that the following statements can be proved such as:

• 
  `2q+1 = 8`

Explanation:

Given the expression

`p = 2q+1`

Given

`p = 8`

IF WE SUBSTITUTE p=2q+1 in p=8

Now, substituting p = 2q+1 in the expression p=8

`p = 8`

`2q+1 = 8` ∵ p = 2q+1

Therefore, we conclude that the following statements can be proved such as:

• 
  `2q+1 = 8`
