2-6 Algebraic Proof
Before we
okay, enough…
Today we are going to practice formal proofs, which are written in two columns.
Statements Reasons
• Today we will practice by solving algebra problems.
• All of the reasons we will use in the proofs are on page 94 in the yellow box.
PROVE: If 3x – 19 = 5, then x = 8
Statements Reasons1. 3x – 19 = 5 1. Given
2. 3x – 19 + 19 = 5 + 19 2. Addition Property
3. 3x = 24 3. Substitution
4. 3x = 24 4. Division Property
3 3
5. x = 8 5. Substitution
#1 in the Proof is always what is given
That’s It. Let’s try the classwork.
