Question 762236: The proof by indirect method is shown below. In which step does the contradiction appear?
Given: AB ≠ DE and point C is a midpoint of BD
Prove: AC ≠ CE
Step 1: Assume AD = CD
Step 2: BC = CD
Step 3: AC − BC = CE − CD
Step 4: AB = DE
Step 5: AC ≠ CE

Your assumption step is wrong. Should be "Assume AC = CE"
Now read down the list of steps and find something that says the opposite of something that was said before, usually the opposite of a given.
