You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Every positive whole number n such that $\"n+%3E+1\"$ can be written in the form $\"a%2Bb\"$ where 'a' and 'b' are positive whole numbers (it is possible that a = b)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "n = 1 is not able to be written into the form $\"a%2Bb\"$ because either 'a' or 'b' would have to be 0. But this contradicts their condition that $\"a+%3E+0\"$ and $\"b+%3E+0\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So the final answer is B. 1 since there is only one number (the number 1 itself) that cannot be written as the sum of two positive integers. \n" ); document.write( "
