In Burton's book it is said that it is "known" that each prime can be represented as such sum. However, I do not know whether that means it has been proved.
This is Scherk's theorem, which was conjectured by Scherk in 1833 and proved by Pillai in 1928. [T. D. Noe, Oct 03 2008]

Examples

			For the first five primes we have only one solution for each: 2 = 2*1, 3 = 1*2 + 1*1, 5 = 2*3 - 1*2 + 1*1, 7 = 1*5 + 1*3 - 1*2 + 1*1, 11 = 2*7 - 1*5 + 1*3 - 1*2 + 1*1 and for the next prime 13, we have 3 solutions: 13 = 11-7+5+3+2-1 = 11+7-5-3+2+1 = 11+7-5+3-2-1.
