Prove 7 divides 15n+6 with mathematical induction



Prove that for all natural numbers statement n, statement is dividable by 7



15n+6



Base. We prove the statement for n=1



15 + 6 = 21 it is true




Inductive step.



Induction Hypothesis. We assume the result holds for k. That is, we assume that



15k+6



is divisible by 7



To prove: We need to show that the result holds for k+1, that is, that




15k+1+6=15k15+6



and I don't know what to do


Answer



Observe that 14 is divisible by 7. Then let 15k15+6=15k14+15k+6.
