Charmaine= x
William=x+3
3 times Charmaine = 3x
2times William = 2x+6
5x+6=76
5x=76-6
5x=70
X=14
Charmaine is 14
William is 3 years older so is 17
Check:
17x2= 34
14x3=42
34+42=76
So Charmaine is 14
William is 17
Let's define both terms first. Inductive reasoning is a conclusion that you get out of a series of observation. However, this may be true or not. But for deductive reasoning, you reach a conclusion that you get out of a series of observations that are also supported by facts. These are all true.
Since all the statements are based on facts, this is a deductive reasoning.
The answer is B. deductive.
