Note: Since <strong>the</strong>re are many variations of proofs,<br />

<strong>the</strong> following is simply one set of acceptable<br />

statements to complete each proof. Depending<br />

on <strong>the</strong> textbook used, <strong>the</strong> wording and <strong>for</strong>mat<br />

of reasons may differ, so <strong>the</strong>y have not been<br />

supplied <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> method of congruence applied<br />

in each problem. (These solutions are intended<br />

to be used as a guide—o<strong>the</strong>r possible solutions<br />

may vary.)<br />
