Question

Is the converse of the statement valid?

Answer 1

Yes. If a+7 is even, then a is odd

Answer 2

The converse of the statement is valid

Yes. If a + 7 is even, then a is odd.

The converse of a statement is gotten by switching the hypothesis and the conclusion.

In the statement:

If a is odd, then a + 7 is even.

The hypothesis = a is odd

The conclusion = a + 7 is even

The converse of the statement will be:

If a + 7 is even, then a  is odd.

The converse statement is valid because if we subtract 7 from an even number, the resulting number will be odd
