This is valid through the law of syllogism. If you swap lines 1 and 2, then you'll have this argument:
If I step on a beehive, then I will get stung.
If I get stung by a bee, then it will hurt.
Therefore, if I step on a beehive, then it will hurt
------------------
So it's like connecting a chain together. Point A (stepping on the hive), leads to point B (getting stung), which leads to point C (getting hurt). We can take a shortcut to bypass point B to jump from A to C in one step. Check out the attached image for a visual of what I'm referring to.
Answer:
3, and b
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x =3
Because you have 3 little squares for one x
2. x= -12
b) 15+6=21

Let the coordinates of the treasure be (x,y).
Let
= distance from the rock to the treasure.
Let
= distance from the tree to the treasure.
We want
= 5/9 in order to locate the treasure.
Note that 5/9 = 0.556 (approx)
