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).
I = PRT....seeking T...rearrange......I / PR = T
I / PR = T
I = 720
P = 1000
R = 9% = 0.09
substituting values
720 / (1000)(0.09) = T
720 / 90 = T
8 = T <===
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
.
Step 2 involves the binomial factorization process.
