Determine whether the stated conclusion is valid based on the given information. If not, write invalid. Explain your reasoning.
3. Given: If a number is divisible by 4, then the number is divisible by 2. 12 is divisible by four.
Conclusion: 12 is divisible by 2.
SOLUTION:
If p → q is a true statement and p is true, then q. Here, a number divisible 4 is divisible by 2 also and 12 is divisible by 4. So, 12 is divisible by 2 is a valid statement by the Law of Detachment.
ANSWER:
valid; Law of Detachment
4. Given: If Elan stays up late, he will be tired the next day. Elan is tired.
Conclusion: Elan stayed up late.
SOLUTION:
If p is true, then q is true, but q being true does not necessarily mean that p is true. Elan could be tired because he worked out. So, the statement is invalid.
ANSWER:
Invalid; Elan could be tired because he worked out.

The answer is D cuz it cross the x
Answer:
It is supplementary.
Step-by-step explanation:
Supplementary angles are angles that have two angles adding up to 180°. You can tell by just finding the straight line that equals 180° then seeing a line that separates the whole measurement into two angles, but together making a 180° angle still. Hope this helps! :D
Meanings of the other Options:
Alternate Interior Angles - <em>Angles formed when two parallel or non-parallel lines are intersected by a transversal. The angles are positioned at the inner corners of the intersections and lie on opposite sides of the transversal.</em>
Corresponding Angles - <em>Angles that are in the same relative position at an intersection of a transversal and at least two lines. If the two lines are parallel, then the corresponding angles are congruent.</em>
Alternate Exterior Angles - <em>Angles are the pair of angles that lie on the outer side of the two parallel lines but on either side of the transversal line. Exterior angles lie on opposite sides of the transversal but outside the two parallel lines.</em>
<em />
Parallel Lines - <em>Two lines that never intersect. Like an equal sign for example (=).</em>
<em />
Transversal - <em>A line the cuts through a parallel line. Like a non-equal sign for example (≠).</em>
length = 4 yards and width = 3.5 yards
let width be w then length is 2w - 3
area = w(2w - 3) = 14 (rearrange in standard form )
2w² - 3w - 14 = 0 ← in standard form
(2w - 7 )(w + 2 ) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for w
2w - 7 = 0 ⇒ w = 3.5
w + 2 = 0 ⇒ w = - 2
but w > 0, hence w = 3.5
width = 3.5 yards and length = (2 × 3.5 ) - 3 = 4 yards
