Answer:
Contradiction
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose that G has more than one cycle and let C be one of the cycles of G, if we remove one of the edges of C from G, then by our supposition the new graph G' would have a cycle. However, the number of edges of G' is equal to m-1=n-1 and G' has the same vertices of G, which means that n is the number of vertices of G. Therefore, the number of edges of G' is equal to the number of vertices of G' minus 1, which tells us that G' is a tree (it has no cycles), and so we get a contradiction.
Gabe had 372 apples and r grapes. The total of grapes and apples gabe has are 509. How many grapes did gabe have?
The answer is a. You have the correct one highlighted I believe.
Hope this helps.
