 Let’s Recall!
1. All living things have cells. Thor is a
living thing.
2. All licensed drivers are 17 years old and
above. Marcus has driver’s license.
3. The teacher used Google Classroom in
the last few classes.
 Let’s Recall!
1. Therefore, Thor has cells. (Deductive
Reasoning)
2. Therefore, Marcus is at least 7 years old.
(Deductive Reasoning)
3. Therefore, the teacher will use google
classroom tomorrow.
(Inductive Reasoning)

 It is a logical
argument in which
each statement you
make is
supported/justified by
given information,
definitions, axioms,
postulates, theorems,
and previously proven
statements.
 It is a type of logical
reasoning that uses
accepted facts to
Direct reason in a step-by-
step manner until

Proof
the desired
statement is
obtained.
 Steps in writing a direct proof:

1. Assume the statement p is true.

2. Use what you know about p and other
facts as necessary to deduce that another
statement q is true, that is to show p→q
(if p then q) is true.

Two- organizing a
proof. This
Column consists of two
columns, one for
Form statements and
one for reasons.
 Prove that if 3x + 6 = 18 then x = 4.
Example
Given: 3x + 6 = 18

Prove: x = 4
 Given: 𝑨𝑩 = 𝑪𝑫
Example
Prove: 𝑨𝑪 = 𝑩𝑫 A B C D

Let’s try this! Prove that if 2(b+1) = −6, then b =−4.
Given:2(b + 1) = −6
(1 whole)
Prove: b = −4
If 2 (3x+ 4) = 56, then x = 8.
Given: 2 (3x+ 4) = 56
Prove: x = 8
