Select the assumption necessary to start an indirect proof of the statement. If 3a+7 < 28, then a<7.

When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.

In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.

a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:

3a+7≥28,

which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.

So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.


Answer: assume a≥7

Answer:

f(x) = -x -1

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = mx + b

find 2 points on the line:

A( -1 , 0)

B( 0 , -1)

Put them in the equation and fine m & b:

0=m(-1)+b

-1=m(0)+b

so b= -1

and m= -1

so f(x) = -x-1

<h3>1)</h3>

• 6x -2(x -5) = -2 . . . . given

• 6x -2x +10 = -2 . . . . X Cameron errored here. When multiplying -2 by -5, the result is 10, not -10.

• 4x +10 = -2 . . . . . . x terms are correctly collected

• 4x +10 -10 = -2 -10 . . . . add the opposite of the constant on the left

• 4x/4 = -12/4 . . . . divide by the x-coefficient

• x = -3 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

<h3>2)</h3>

• 11x -10 = -34 . . . . combine like terms

• 11x -10 +10 = 34 +10 . . . . addition property of equality
