Question 60395: Help!!! I dont understand proofs at all-can you tell me some tricks???
Answer by brandonpark2889(31)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! You don't know what proof is? Is that what you were saying? Proof is when you can "prove" that the equation is true. Do u get it? For ex, 3+x=8. Then you subtract the 3 on each side and you will get x=5. BUT, THE PROOF IS WHEN YOU SUBSTITUTE THE X WITH THE ANSWER AND SOLVE THE EQUATION. In here, x=5. So:
You would do 3 + 5 = 8. Does that equal on both sides? Let's check. 3 + 5 is 8.
8=8. THIS is proof.
