3. Given: If x= 2, then 3x - 5 10 Prove this statement is true by contradiction
If x = 2, then 3x - 5 =10, take this statement as true and solve for x.​

i dont know what contradiction is (im not american)

Step-by-step explanation:

sooo imma solve the second one

3x-5=10

3x=10+5

3x=15

divide everything by 3

x=5

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
