If a is independent of b and b is independent of c, then a is independent of c. prove this statement or give a counterexample if it is false.

This is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

This would be known as the transitive property.

If A = B, and B = C, then A must equal C

Let me explain.

If A = 2, and B = 2, and A = C, C must also equal 2.

If something is equal then it's the same, so it makes sense for A = C if B is the same value as A and C.

A good way to recognize the property is if you see a number/letter appear twice, and they both equal different things. Then you see the two different letters are equal to each other. Hopefully this helped some.

correct answer is infinitely many solutions

step-by-step explanation:

2(2x + 3) = -4 + 2(2x + 5)

solving the above equation:

4x + 6 = -4 +4x +10

combining like terms

4x -4x = -4+10-6

0=0

since both sides are 0=0, we end up into true statement it means it has infinite many solutions.

so correct answer is infinitely many solutions
