Hope I helped. Have a wonderful day
When applying indirect proofs, we assume the negation of the conclusion is true, and show that this assumption would lead to nonsense, or contradiction.
In our case we assume a is not smaller than 7, that is we assume a≥7.
a≥7 then, multiplying both sides by 3:
3a≥21, then, adding both sides 7:
3a+7≥28,
which is a contradiction because 3a+7 is smaller than 28.
So our assumption is wrong, which means the opposite of it is correct.
Answer: assume a≥7

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
chickens + goats = 13
so...
c + g = 13, so...
g = (13 - c)
2 legs times the number of chickens (2c) + 4 legs times the number of goats (4g) = 48 total legs. So...
2c + 4(13-c) = 48, so
2c + 52 - 4c = 48, so
-2c = -4, so
2c = 4, so
c = 2.
There are 2 chickens, and therefore 11 goats.
9/10 is the answer. 7/8 is 70/80 and 9/10 is 72/80
