Theorem: the sum of any two even integers equals 4k for some integer k. "proof: suppose m and n are any two even integers. by de

finition of even, m = 2k for some integer k and n = 2k for some integer k. by substitution, m + n = 2k + 2k = 4k. this is what was to be shown." what's the mistakes in this proof?

Remark

The proof is only true if m and n are equal. Make it more general.

m = 2k

n = 2v

m + n = 2k + 2v = 2(k + v).

k and v can be equal but many times they are not. From that simple equation you cannot do anything for sure but divide by 2.

There are 4 combinations

m is divisible by 4 and n is not. The result will not be divisible by 4.

m is not divisible by 4 but n is. The result will not be divisible by 4.

But are divisible by 4 then the sum will be as well. Here's the really odd result

If both are even and not divisible by 4 then their sum is divisible by 4

Graph the line by plotting any two ordered pairs that satisfy the equation.
ollegr [7]

Answer:

(0,-4)

(3,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let start at the orgin.

This is a linear equation since the equation is in the form of

y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

Since we starting at the orgin, and b is our y intercept.

Our first point is

(0,-4).

since the slope is 4/3.

We would rise 4 from the y value and run 3 to the x value.

In other words, to find your second point, go up 4 units from the first point and move to the right 3 units.

So our next point is at

(3,0).

U can continously go up 4 units and move 3 units to the right to find other points.

How do you solve and simplify <br> 2/5+1/4+7/10=
Alchen [17]

Hello!

<em><u>Answer: ⇒ 27/20</u></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

\frac{8}{20}+\frac{5}{20}+\frac{14}{20}

Since the denominators are equal, then combine the fractions.

\frac{8+5+14}{20}

Add by the numbers.

8+5+14=27

=\frac{27}{20}

Hope this helps!

Thank you for posting your question at here on brainly.
