Question

if p and q are whole numbers such that p x q is equals to 37 find the value of p + q explain your answer​

Answer 1

Answer:

31 is a prime number

that is it has only 2 factors; 1 and 37

therefore p = 1 and q = 37 or q = 1 and p = 37

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:-

if p and q are whole numbers such

that p x q is equals to 37

=>p×q=37

here 37 is a prime number and it can be written as 1×37 or 37×1

(1) p×q=1×37

Comparing both sides

P=1 and q=37

then , p+q =1+37=38

or

If p×q=37×1

Comparing on both sides

P=37 and q=1

then, p+q=37+1=38

The value of p+q is 38
