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

Type the correct answer in the box. Log14/13+log11/5-log22/15= log
MArishka [77]

your answer would be x=21/13

When the logs have the same base: logb(f(x)) = logb(g(x)) --> f(x) g(x)

if im correct please mark brainliest :)
