<u>ANSWER: </u>

Colby hit 8 home runs.

<u>SOLUTION: </u>

It is given to us that Colby hit four more home runs that twice the number of home runs Dominic hit and together they hit ten home runs.  

Let us denote the runs hit by Colby as ‘c’ and that hit by Dominic as ‘d’.

According to the given statement  

d + c = 10   --eq1

and we also know that Colby hit four more home runs that twice the number of home runs Dominic hit. So we can write it in an equation as follows:

c = 2d + 4   -- eq2

Now from the eq1and eq2 we can solve to find out how many runs Colby hit  Let's rewrite equation one as follows:

d = 10 - c   -- eq3

Now substituting eq3 in eq2 we get the following:

c = 2(10 - c) + 4

We can rewrite the equation as:

c = 20 - 2c + 4

3c = 24

c = 8

Therefore Colby hit 8 home runs.

Answer:

The conclusion "T" logically follows from the premises given and the argument is valid

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us use notations to represent the steps

P: I take a bus

Q: I take the subway

R: I will be late for my appointment

S: I take a taxi

T: I will be broke

The given statement in symbolic form can be written as,

(P V Q) → R

S → (¬R ∧ T)

(¬Q ∧ ¬P) → S

¬R

___________________

∴ T

PROOF:

1. (¬Q ∧ ¬P) → S                Premise

2. S → (¬R ∧ T)                  Premise

3. (¬Q ∧ ¬P) → (¬R ∧ T)    (1), (2), Chain Rule

4. ¬(P ∨ Q) → (¬R ∧ T)      (3), DeMorgan's law

5. (P ∨ Q) → R                   Premise

6. ¬R                                 Premise

7. ¬(P ∨ Q)                        (5), (6), Modus Tollen's rule

8. ¬R ∧ T                          (4), (7), Modus Ponen's rule

9. T                                   (8), Rule of Conjunction

Therefore the conclusion "T" logically follows from the given premises and the argument is valid.
