@jim_thompson5910 if you aren't busy, i am clueless

Answer 2

Because it's an indirect proof, you have to do a proof by contradiction

Answer 3

assume the opposite is true

assume that (5/6)x - 3 = 22 is true

solve for x and tell me what you get

Answer 4

30=25 which isnt true?

Answer 5

(5/6)x=25?

Answer 6

what comes next after (5/6)x=25

Answer 7

5/6 of 25 is 83.3%?

Answer 8

multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 5/6

Answer 9

30/30 And 30?
