Use a proof by contradiction to prove that the sum of two odd integers is even CM

Answer:

Sum of two odd integers is always even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let m and n be two odd integers.

Since m and n are odd they can be written in the form m =2r + 1 and n = 2s + 1, where r and s are integers.

Let us suppose that their sum is not even.

m + n = (2r+1) + (2s + 1)

          = 2r + 2s + 2

          = 2(r+s+1)

          = 2z

Thus, the sum of m and n can be written in the form 2z where z is an integer. But this is a contradiction to the fact that their sum is even.

Hence, our assumption was wrong and the sum of two odd integers is always even.

Problem 1 Answer: x = 2/3y+8

Show Work:

Step 1: Add 2y to both sides.

3x−2y+2y=24+2y

3x=2y+24

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3x/3 = 2y+24/3

x = 2/3y+8

Problem 2 Answer: x=−2y+48

Show Work:

Add -2y to both sides.

x+2y+−2y=48+−2y

x=−2y+48
