Step 2: 2 times 6 is equal to 12. 12 divided by 6 is 2. Step 3: 12 is not divisible by 6. a. Step 3 b. Step 2 c. Step 1 d. Steps 1 and 2

Step 3, I think. Step 1 assumed 12 non-divisible by 6. As an assumption, it can't be wrong. Step 2 proved the assumption false, a solid proof. All that is left is that the opposite of Step 1 is true, hence, 12 is divisible by 6. The conclusion(step 3) is wrong.
Okay.. Thank you so much. How do I give you a medal for helping me?
