The next step of your proof is to subtract (a/b) from both sides.
Then you get, x = (m/n) - (a/b)
Since rationals are closed over addition, (m/n) + (-a/b) is a rational number.
Therefore, x (an irrational number) = a rational number <em>This is a false statement which is a contradiction. So, the assumption was incorrect.</em>
Thus, the sum of a rational and irrational number is an irrational number. QED
Answer:
x=-5-3
It cannot be more simplified.
That equation displays the properties of inaccuracy, mendacity, and falsehood. It is an untrue statement, and the only value of 'w' that can make it true is w=0 .
Answer:
There are many possible answers since 5 is already greater than 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
^^^
24 because the ratio is 5:8 and you have to multiply 5 by 3 to get 15
so you have to do the same thing to 8 and multiply it by 3 to get 24
