Answer 2

your thoughts on it?

Answer 3

@jim_thompson5910 can u show me how to answer this problem?

Answer 4

were you able to get anywhere with it? any ideas at all or anything crossed off the list?

Answer 5

nope

Answer 6

for example, step 1 is the first step, so there is no way this is the conclusion (since that's the last line)

So we can cross off choice C

Answer 7

agreed or no?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

What is step 1. Go ahead and write that out.

Answer 10

is step 1. AC=BD?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

where else is that equation mentioned or listed?

Answer 13

Step #5

Answer 14

step 5's equation is different from step 1

Answer 15

AC = BD is listed somewhere else, but not in step 5

Answer 16

oh my bad i just nocited that

Answer 17

where is AC = BD listed (other than step 1)?

Answer 20

don't look in the table

Answer 21

look above the table

Answer 22

where is AC = BD listed (other than step 1)?

Answer 23

umm If AC=BD, then AB=CD

Answer 24

yes, notice how it says "If AC = BD"

the key here is that IF

Answer 25

it all hinges on that

Answer 26

the "if AC = BD" is known as a premise. It is a building block of an argument

Answer 27

The assumption is that the premise is true which leads to the conclusion. So that's why the answer is choice A) true premises

Answer 28

because its true. If AC= BD is the first step

Answer 29

because AC = BD is assumed to be true, it leads to the rest of the steps eventually leading to the conclusion

Answer 30

if AC = BD isn't true, then the whole argument doesn't work

Answer 31

umm then idk what it would be

Answer 32

can you tell I don't understand this lol
