Using the definitions of even integer and odd integer, give a proof by contraposition that this statement is true for all intege

kvasek [131]

Suppose $n$ is even, i.e. there is some integer $k$ such that $n=2k$ . Then

$3n-5=3(2k)-5=6k-5=6k-6+1=2(3k-3)+1=2K+1$

where $K$ is just some other integer. Therefore $3n-5$ is odd, proving the contrapositive, and so the original statement is also true.
