Question 1100364
to prove the statements false, all you have to do is find an example where the statements are not true.


i started with a > b + c and assumed a was 10.
then b + c had to be smaller than 10.
i assigned 5 to b and 4 to c.
a = 10
b = 5
c = 4
a > b + c becomes 10 > 5 + 4 which becomes 10 > 9 which it true.


i then started with d > b + a.
b = 5 and a = 10 from the previous inequality.
this became d > 5 + 10 which meant that d > 15.
i chose d = 16.


i now have:
a = 10
b = 5
c = 4
d = 16


then i went through the selections.


A. a>d not true because 10 not greater than 16
B. b>a+d not true because 5 not greater than 26
C. c>a-b not true because 4 not greater than 5
D. d>c true because 16 > 4
