Answer 1

y believe its d

Answer 2

I do too, you can't use a to prove a, b and c are not acurate

Answer 3

yeah thanks i just wanted to make sure can i show you a few more @ehuman

Answer 4

I'm here, let's look at them

Answer 5

I'm better with math, but logic statements are fun to figure out

no prob

Answer 12

Angie did the following proof in her logic class. Which step in the indirect proof did she do incorrectly?

Prove: 12 is divisible by 6.

Step 1: Assume that 12 is not divisible by 6.
Step 2: 2 times 6 is equal to 12. 12 divided by 6 is 2.
Step 3: 12 is not divisible by 6

Step 3

Step 2

Step 1

Steps 1 and 2

Answer 13

its step 2 right

Answer 14

wait i think its 3

Answer 15

3

Answer 16

ok last one
The following is an indirect proof of the Multiplication Property of Equality: For real numbers a, b, and c, if a = b, then ac = bc.

Assume ac ≠ bc. According to the given information, _____. By the Division Property of Equality, one can divide the same number from both sides of an equation without changing the equation. Therefore, ac over c does not equal bc over c. Through division, the c's cancel and a ≠ b. This contradicts the given information so ac = bc.

Which statement accurately completes the proof?


ac = bc

ac ≠ bc

a = b

a ≠ b

Answer 17

if you know how to do it explain it to me don't just give me the answer please ?

Answer 18

this one im clueless
