it cannot be factored

Step-by-step explanation:

The law of detachment states:


p\rightarrow q\text{ is true}

if p is true, then q is true

if polynomial is prime then it cannot be factored

conditional (if) is true

hypothesis (then) is also true

Then, the conclusion would be true

Since 5x+13y is prime , then it cannot be factored

Conclusion: then it cannot be factored
