Answer:
3+9 = 12
Explanation:
A <em>"counterexample" </em>is an example that shows the falseness of a statement.
Among the choices above,<em> 3+9 = 12</em> is the ideal counterexample. Its sum is an even integer (12); however, its addends are odd integers (3 and 9). So, this goes against the statement above.
The<u> first choice</u> (6+10 = 16) is clearly not a counterexample, but an example of the statement. The <u>second choic</u>e (14+9=23) is not a counterexample because its product is an odd integer, not an even integer. The statement is referring to the condition of an even integer for an answer.
