Question

Can someone explain the law of syllogism? I don't really understand. My friend said that you cancel words that are alike/the same....is that accurate?

Answer 1

It is a kind of logical argument in which one proposition (the conclusion) is inferred from two others

Answer 2

Can you give an example?

Answer 3

if i reach school at 9 i can finish by 9:45
if i reah home by 9:45 i can finish housework by 10;30
THEREFORE: if i can reach school at 9 i can finish housework by 10:30

Answer 4

So the first two are separate conditional statements?

Answer 5

yes and from which i derived the conclusion statement
aRc=aRb+bRc

Answer 6

where R is relation and a is condition 1 and b is condition 2 and c is condition 3

Answer 7

Condition 3 is the combination of the first two. And...I need to remember that equation as well?

Answer 8

no i just thought it would be nice to give u an equation to work with but that equation is not general for all cases

Answer 9

Oh. Ok. Thank you :)
