Answer:
sorry the question isn't obvious at all, can you please rectify?
The answer to your question is,
Each time they assume the sum is rational; however, upon rearranging the terms of their equation, they get a contradiction (that an irrational number is equal to a rational number). Since the assumption that the sum of a rational and irrational number is rational leads to a contradiction, the sum must be irrational.

Add each term and divide it by 2.
5+7 = 12
12/2 = 6
-2 + 6 = 4
4/2 = 2, then add the i back on to get 2i.
The midpoint is 6 + 2i
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
5:4:3 = x:y:2
4:3 = y:2 Cross multiply
3y = 8 Divide by 3
y = 8/3 = 2.66'
5/x = 3/2
3x = 10 Divide by 3
x = 10/3
x = 3.33
Length of the wood = 2.66 + 3.33 + 2
Length of the wood = 8 feet
