Use mathematical induction to prove that $3cdot 5^2n+1 +2^3n+1$
is divisible by $17$ for all $n ∈ mathbbN$.
I've tried to do it as follow.
If $n = 1$ then $392/17 = 23$.
Assume it is true when $n = p$. Therefore $3cdot 5^2p+1 +2^3p+1 = 17k $ where $k ∈ mathbbN $. Consider now $n=p+1$. Then
beginalign
&3cdot 5^2(p+1)+1 +2^3(p+1)+1=\
&3cdot 5^2p+1+2 + 2^3p+1+3=\
&3cdot5^2p+1cdot 5^2 + 2^3p+1cdot 2^3.
endalign
I reached a dead end from here. If someone could help me in the direction of the next step it would be really helpful. Thanks in advance.

When $n=p$ you assume that $3cdot 5^2p+1+2^3p+1 = 17k$, don't you?

You did. I just corrected the notation for products.

Having shown that
$$3cdot5^2p+1+2^3p+1=17k$$
we have (continuing from the last line)
$$3cdot5^2p+15^2+2^3p+12^3=17(3cdot5^2p+1)+8(3cdot5^2p+1+2^3p+1)=17(3cdot5^2p+1+8k)$$
so the next expression is also divisible by 17, as required.
Can you please help me understand how you got into the second step because thats the step i cant understand. Thanks

@ShehanTearz $3cdot5^2p+1cdot5^2=3cdot5^2p+1cdot17+3cdot5^2p+1cdot8$. Then I rearrange and collect the two terms with 8.

Step $n+1:$
$3(5^2)5^2p+1+(2^3)2^3p+1=$
$3(17+8)5^2p+1 +8 cdot 2^3p+1=$
$8[3 cdot 5^2p+1+2^3p+1]+ 17cdot 3 cdot 5^2p+1.$
The first term in the above sum is divisible by $17$ (hypothesis), the second term is a multiple of $17$.

I'll start with the inductive step
$$3cdot5^2(n+1)+1+2^3(n+1)+1$$
$$3cdot5^2n+1+2+2^3n+1+3$$
$$3cdot25cdot5^2(n+1)+8cdot2^3n+1$$
We know that $$3cdot5^2n+1+2^3n+1=17k$$
Therefore $$3cdot5^2n+1=17k-2^3n+1$$
Plug this in:
$$25cdot(17k-2^3n+1)+8cdot2^3n+1$$
$$425kcdot-25cdot2^3n+1+8cdot2^3n+1$$
$$425kcdot-17cdot2^3n+1$$
$$17(25-2^3n+1)$$

I'll start with the inductive step
$$3cdot5^2(n+1)+1+2^3(n+1)+1$$
$$3cdot5^2n+1+2+2^3n+1+3$$
$$3cdot25cdot5^2(n+1)+8cdot2^3n+1$$
We know that $$3cdot5^2n+1+2^3n+1=17k$$
Therefore $$3cdot5^2n+1=17k-2^3n+1$$
Plug this in:
$$25cdot(17k-2^3n+1)+8cdot2^3n+1$$
$$425kcdot-25cdot2^3n+1+8cdot2^3n+1$$
$$425kcdot-17cdot2^3n+1$$
$$17(25-2^3n+1)$$
