- half of 12 is 6
now we have to be proven 7 = 6
let assume x = y ...........(1)
we can multiplied x and y with 7
so, 7x = 7y ......................(2)
we can add 6x and 6y at both of the side because x = y so 6x = 6y
7x + 6y = 7y + 6 x ............(3)
then
7x - 7y = 6x - 6y .................(4)
7( x - y ) = 6 ( x - y )..............(5)
by cancel the ( x - y ) from both of the side
7 = 6 (hence proved) - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(1)
