Answer:

a = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a + 3) = -4

2a + 6 = -4 Use the distributive property, distribute the 2 into (a + 3), meaning multiply the 2 by a and by 3.

2a = -10 Subtract 6 from both sides to isolate the a variable.

a = -5 Divide both sides by 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2(a+3)=-4

Distribute

2a+6=-4

subtract the six with the four and you get -10

-6-4=-10

you get a= -5

Given the conditional statement ~p -> q which statement is logically equivalent?

icang [17]

Any implication is logically equivalent to its contrapositive. In other words,

¬p ⇒ q ⇔ ¬q ⇒ p

(¬ means the same thing as ~, "not")

To prove this: recall that

p ⇒ q ⇔ ¬p ∨ q

This is because p ⇒ q is true if p is false, or both p and q are true, i.e.

p ⇒ q ⇔ ¬p ∨ (p ∧ q)

Disjunction (∨ or "or") distributes over conjunction (∧ or "and"), so that

p ⇒ q ⇔ (¬p ∨ p) ∧ (¬p ∨ q)

but ¬p ∨ p is always true, or a tautology, so we're just left with ¬p ∨ q.

Then

¬p ⇒ q ⇔ p ∨ q

… ⇔ q ∨ p

… ⇔ ¬(¬q) ∨ p

… ⇔ ¬q ⇒ p
