Deductive reasoning is what is proven and what you already know for sure. Example: there are 2 ants. There is 1 ant next to the 2. There are 3 ants total. (Rules of addition)

So you don't have to solve any problems to use deductive reasoning, unlike inductive reasoning, which is not proven
Example of inductive reasoning: there are lots of girls in my class. So there are probably lots of girls in the other classes too. You don't know that for sure.

Tickets to the zoo cost $12 for adults and $8 for children. The school has a budget of $240 for the field trip. An equation repr

Oxana [17]

Answer:

18 children

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$240 = 12x +8y$

<em>Required (missing part of the question):</em>

<em>Number of children that will be able to go to the zoo if 8 adult tickets are purchased</em>

<em>The graph is missing. However, the question can be solved without the graph.</em>

<em />

From the question and equation, we can deduce the following:

x represents adults
y represents children

So, when 8 adult tickets were sold.

This means

$x = 8$

Substitute 8 for x in $240 = 12x +8y$

$240= 12 * 8 + 8y$

$240= 96+ 8y$

Subtract 96 from both sides

$240 - 96 = 96 - 96 + 8y$

$144 = 8y$

$8y = 144$

Solve for y

$y= \frac{144}{8}$

$y= 18$

<em>This means that 18 children will be able to go</em>

Find the 12th term of an AP of the form 7, 12, 17, 22

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

27

Step-by-step explanation:

The rule will be

Ni=(i-1)*5+2

i=1 → N=(1–1)*5+2=0*5+2=0+2=2
i=2 → N=(2–1)*5+2=1*5+2=5+2=7
i=3 → N=(3–1)*5+2=2*5+2=10+2=12
i=4 → N=(4–1)*5+2=3*5+2=15+2=17
i=5 → N=(5–1)*5+2=4*5+2=20+2=22
i=6 → N=(6–1)*5+2=5*5+2=25+2=27
