James says that if a prime number is doubled, then that new number is still a prime number.
State whether you agree or disagree, and explain why you think so (e.g. you may refer to a definition). If you agree, give an example that proves James's conjecture. If you disagree, give a counterexample that disproves James's conjecture. BRAINIEST IF CORRECT PLZ EXPLAIN.

Answer:
I disagree with what James says.
Step-by-step explanation:
Definition of a prime number: A number with only 1 and itself as its factors.
The new number has a factor of 2, because we just doubled a prime number.
Take 3, for example. 3 x 2 = 6. 6 is not a prime number, it is composite because it has 1,2,3, and 6 as its factors.
