MATH .

It must be true that a implies c, because of the transitive property.

If a is true, then b is true as well. But every time b is true, c is true as well.

So, "jumping" over b, we have that if a is true, c is true as well.

Think of this example:

It is true that , because Rome is inside Italy, and similarly , because Italy is a European state.

So, if I live in Rome, I must live in Europe as well.

step-by-step explanation:

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
