All prime numbers are odd with the exception of two. Hence, if we consider the sum of the first million primes, it consists of one even number combined with 999,999 odd numbers. Since the product of an odd number multiplied by another odd number results in an odd number, we conclude that the sum must be an odd number, being even + odd = odd.
It's clear that an odd number ends with an odd digit, so the only digit that can be eliminated is b (an even digit).

The options presented are:
(1) division property of equality
(2) factoring the binomial
(3) completing the square
(4) subtraction property of equality
Response: (2) factoring the binomial
Step 1: 
Step 2:![-c = a[x^2+\frac{b}{a} x]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20-c%20%3D%20a%5Bx%5E2%2B%5Cfrac%7Bb%7D%7Ba%7D%20x%5D%20%20%20)
In step 2, 'a' is extracted from 
. Upon factoring out 'a', we divide all terms by 'a', resulting in ![a[x^2+\frac{b}{a} x]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%20%20a%5Bx%5E2%2B%5Cfrac%7Bb%7D%7Ba%7D%20x%5D%20%20%20)
.
Step 2 involves the binomial factorization process.
Given:
Initial dog treat: 8 inches in length, 3.2 inches in width.
Miniature dog treat: 3 inches long,? wide
We will apply cross multiplication to find the proportionality:
Relating length and width.
Original treat: 8/3.2
Miniature treat: 3/x
8/3.2 = 3/x
Cross multiply:
8 * x = 3.2 * 3
8x = 9.6
Calculate x
x = 9.6/8
x = 1.2
The width of the miniature dog treat measures 1.2 inches.
To verify:
original treat: 8/3.2 = 2.5
miniature treat: 3/1.2 = 2.5
or:
8/3.2 = 3/1.2
8 * 1.2 = 3.2 * 3
9.6 = 9.6
