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.

35% are in display cases which means 65% are on the wall.
this means 195 cars is 65% of the collection.
to get total number of cars in the collection divide 195 by 65%
195/0.65 = 300
answer: 300 total cars

I'll be honest, this is a pretty interesting question. I've never seen anything like it before!
We can start off by making equations with the given. If there are 100 heads, that means that the total number of chickens and pigs combined is 100. Thus, we can form our first equation:
p + c = 100
('p' represents number of pigs, and 'c' represents number of chickens)
We also know that there are 270 legs total. Since chickens have 2 and pigs have 4, we can make the following equation:
2c + 4p = 270
I suppose the quickest way to solve for this equation is to use the subtraction method. Put the equations on top of each other:
2c + 4p = 270
c + p = 100
___________
Multiply the bottom equation by -2;
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = 100
____________
"Add" these two equations together:
2c + 4p = 270
-2c -2p = -200
___________
2p = 70
Divide both sides by 2:
p = 35
Ah, finally. Now that we know that there are 35 pigs, input this variable into the first equation to find the number of chickens:
c + 35 = 100
Subtract:
c = 65
There are 35 pigs and 65 chickens

Step-by-step explanation:
The initial image of the photo is 2 in by 4 in. The mat is 4 in by 6 in.
The new image is dilated by a scale of 2. So we double the dimensions. The new photo is 4 in by 8 in. The new mat is 8 in by 12 in.
