You can Google "logical fallacies" and find them in any number of places.

This particular one, affirming the consequent, is in the category of "Propositional fallacies."

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affirming_the_consequent
Affirming the consequent, sometimes called converse error, is a formal fallacy, committed by reasoning in the form:

If P, then Q.
Q.
Therefore, P.

An argument of this form is invalid, i.e., the conclusion can be false even when statements 1 and 2 are true. Since P was never asserted as the only sufficient condition for Q, other factors could account for Q (while P was false).

The name affirming the consequent derives from the premise Q, which affirms the "then" clause of the conditional premise.

I'm not sure about the algebraic formula for this, but it's fairly simple.
7 + 3 + 2 = 12 so
2400 / 12 = 200
7 * 200 = 1400
3 * 200 = 600
2 * 200 = 400

Solved by pluggable solver: Using Cramer's Rule to Solve Systems with 2 variables

system%281%2Ax%2B-1%2Ay=-1%2C1%2Ax%2B-.5%2Ay=1%29

First let

A=%28matrix%282%2C2%2C1%2C-1%2C1%2C-.5%29%29

. This is the matrix formed by the coefficients of the given system of equations.

Take note that the right hand values of the system are

and

which are highlighted here:
system%281%2Ax%2B-1%2Ay=highlight%28-1%29%2C1%2Ax%2B-.5%2Ay=highlight%281%29%29

These values are important as they will be used to replace the columns of the matrix A.

Now let's calculate the the determinant of the matrix A to get abs%28A%29=%281%29%28-.5%29-%28-1%29%281%29=0.5

abs%28A%29=%281%29%28-.5%29-%28-1%29%281%29=0.5

. Remember that the determinant of the 2x2 matrix A=%28matrix%282%2C2%2Ca%2Cb%2Cc%2Cd%29%29

. If you need help with calculating the determinant of any two by two matrices, then check out this solver.

Notation note: abs%28A%29

denotes the determinant of the matrix A.

---------------------------------------------------------

Now replace the first column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'x') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5Bx%5D

(since we're replacing the 'x' column so to speak).

A%5Bx%5D=%28matrix%282%2C2%2Chighlight%28-1%29%2C-1%2Chighlight%281%29%2C-.5%29%29

Now compute the determinant of A%5Bx%5D

to get

abs%28A%5Bx%5D%29=%28-1%29%28-.5%29-%28-1%29%281%29=1.5

. Once again, remember that the determinant of the 2x2 matrix A=%28matrix%282%2C2%2Ca%2Cb%2Cc%2Cd%29%29

To find the first solution, simply divide the determinant of A%5Bx%5D

by the determinant of

to get:

x=%28abs%28A%5Bx%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%281.5%29%2F%280.5%29=3

So the first solution is x=3

---------------------------------------------------------

We'll follow the same basic idea to find the other solution. Let's reset by letting A=%28matrix%282%2C2%2C1%2C-1%2C1%2C-.5%29%29

again (this is the coefficient matrix).

Now replace the second column of A (that corresponds to the variable 'y') with the values that form the right hand side of the system of equations. We will denote this new matrix A%5By%5D

(since we're replacing the 'y' column in a way).

A%5Bx%5D=%28matrix%282%2C2%2C1%2Chighlight%28-1%29%2C1%2Chighlight%281%29%29%29

Now compute the determinant of A%5By%5D

to get

abs%28A%5By%5D%29=%281%29%281%29-%28-1%29%281%29=2

.

To find the second solution, divide the determinant of A%5By%5D

by the determinant of

to get:

y=%28abs%28A%5By%5D%29%29%2F%28abs%28A%29%29=%282%29%2F%280.5%29=4

So the second solution is y=4

====================================================================================

Final Answer:

So the solutions are x=3

and

giving the ordered pair (3, 4)

Numbers_Word_Problems/301011: how do you solve 3K-5=7K+7
1 solutions

Answer 215862 by Deina(147) on 2010-05-05 18:30:10 (Show Source):

You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Decide which side you want to be negative (not that it matters)
I'll have the variable side negative, so
Subtract 7K from each side:
+3K+-+7K+-5=7K+-+7K+%2B7+

Now we have:
-4K - 5 = 7

Add 5 to each side, giving us:
-4K = 12

Now, divide each side by -4:
+cross%28-4%29K%2Fcross%28-4%29+=+cross%2812+%2F+-4%29+-3++

So the answer is K = -3

Rectangles/301000: the perimeter of a rectangle is 64 cm. the length is 4 less than twice the width. find the length and width
1 solutions

Answer 215860 by Deina(147) on 2010-05-05 18:20:12 (Show Source):

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Variables Used

p = perimeter

l = length

w = width

What do we know? We know that:
p = 64 cm
l = 2w - 4
and finally we know that
p = 2(l + w) or 2l + 2w

so we will substitute 2w - 4 for l in the formula:
p = 2(2w - 4) + 2w
Now we will distribute:
p = 4w - 8 + 2w
combine like terms:
p = 6w - 8
I like working on the left, so we'll flip-flop (advanced mathematical term) and replace "p" with 64:
6w - 8 = 64

Add 8 to each side:
6w = 72
divide each side by 6:
+cross%286%29w%2Fcross%286%29+=+72%2F6+=+12+

+cross%286%29w%2Fcross%286%29+=+72%2F6+=+12+

so
w = 12
now remember that l = 2w - 4, and substitute 12 for 'w'
+l+=+cross%282%2812%29%29+24+-+4+=+20+

l = 20
Your answers are
Length = 20 cm
Width = 12 cm & bob's your uncle!

There are other rules that you can find at Rules for asking questions, but do pay particular attention to these:

Daily limit of 4 problems per day. All tutors on algebra.com are FREE.

One problem per submission. Do not dump your whole homework in one question.

If you can, show what you have tried. Tutors like students who try. If a tutor gives you credit for work shown, that problem would not count towards your daily limit.

35x y =175

Depending on your graphing software you may need to move everything but y to one side, which would give you:
+y+=+175+%2F+35x+

Then your graph would look something like:
+graph%28+600%2C+600%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-45%2C+45%2C+y+=175%2F35x%29

10x + 15(100-x) = 12(100)
10x + 1500 - 15x = 1200
-5x + 300 = 0
Add 5x to each side:
300 = 5x
divide both sides by 5
+300%2F5+=+5x%2F5+

so 60 = x

x = 60 ml of the 10% solution & bob's your uncle!

Ok, as far as I'm concerned, the first step is optional, but it may make it easier for you

Multiply both sides by 10 to clear decimals:
becomes
add 60 to each side:
becomes
Divide both sides by 35:
So, x equals (I'll let you convert it to lowest terms) (Exact answer)

Answer 214487 by Deina(147) on 2010-04-28 17:44:10 (Show Source):

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Variables Used

S = Sarah

c = cousin

What do we know? We know that:
S = 5c
S + 4 = 3(c + 4)

Substitute "5c" for S in the second equation:
5c + 4 = 3(c + 4)

Distribute:
5c + 4 = 3c + 12

Subtract 3c from each side:
5c -3c + 4 = 12

Subtract 4 from each side:
2c = 8

Divide both sides by 2 and find that
c = 4

Substitute "4" for "c" in the 1st equation:
S = 5(4) and we find that
Sarah is 20 years old and her cousin is 4 years old
