SOLUTION: Goldbach's Conjecture states: Every number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. Which sum for 30 supports this conjecture? A. 15 + 15 B. 12 + 18 C. 2 +

Question 413401: Goldbach's Conjecture states: Every number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two primes. Which sum for 30 supports this conjecture?
A. 15 + 15

B. 12 + 18

C. 2 + 28

D. 17 + 13

Well first you have to know what a prime number is. A prime number (or a prime) is a natural number that has exactly two distinct natural number divisors: 1 and itself.
Ex. 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17
Therefore if you had the examples below:
A. 15 + 15
B. 12 + 18
C. 2 + 28
D. 17 + 13

the only one adding two prime numbers is D 17+13 = 30
