Answer
Law of Detachment ( also known as Modus Ponens (MP) ) says that if p=>q is true and p is true, then q must be true.
example:
If an angle is obtuse, then it cannot be acute.
Angle A is obtuse.
Therefore
Angle A cannot be acute.
The Law of Syllogism ( also called the Law of Transitivity ) states:
if p=>q and q=>r are both true, then p=>r is true.
example:
If the electric power is cut, then the refrigerator does not work.
If the refrigerator does not work, then the food is spoiled.
So if the electric power is cut, then the food is spoiled.
Law of Detachment also known as Modus Ponens (MP) says that if p=>q is true and p is true, then q must be true.
The Law of Syllogism is also called the Law of Transitivity and states: if p=>q and q=>r are both true, then p=>r is true.
In a nutshell, it's saying that if you have a conditional, and you have the antecedent, you then have the consequent. For example, we know that, "If it snows this winter, we will need to wear warm winter clothing outside." Suddenly it's mid-December and the forecast is snow. Therefore, it's probably the time to go shopping for winter clothes, if we don't already have any.

Positive law is the same thing as human law. So any type of law that is promulgated by the states/government is a positive law. For example, the speed limit is a positive law. Laws against murder are also positive laws, but they are based on the Natural Law. All positive laws should be based on the Natural Law, but they are not. The laws on abortion, for example, are contrary to the Natural Law; however, the laws on abortion are positive laws.
Boyle's law states this fact.
Algebra can be used to solve for an unknown value in Graham's Law formula. The Grahams law formula can use algebra for solving for an unknown value in the formula.
