Inductive reasoning
Deductive reasoning
neither

neither: neither

Answer 2

which one do you think it is?

Answer 3

examples:
deductive: all men were boys, john is a man and thus at one point was a boy
inductive: cows give milk, goats give milk, thus all 4 legged animals give milk
neither: random guess

Answer 4

what you have
assume 5x+7=12
then from what we know of algebra
5x+7-7=12-7
so
5x=5
so
x=1
we assumed 5x+7=12 and got to the conclusion that x must be 1
