Which shows the contrapositive of the conditional statement, and if the conditional statement and the contrapositive are true or false? If |x| ≠ 3, then x ≠ 3. (Points : 1) A= If |x| = 3, then x = 3. The conditional statement and the contrapositive are both true. B= If x = 3, then |x| = 3. The conditional statement and the contrapositive are both true. C= If x = 3, then |x| = 3. The conditional statement is false and the contrapositive is true. D= If x ≠ 3, then |x| ≠ 3. The conditional statement and the contrapositive are both false.

statement : `if a, then b` contrapositive : `if NOT b, then NOT a`

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

just switch the statements and add negate them

OpenStudy (zolock):

is it A

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

nope, the order of statements was not switched in option A so its not the contrapositive

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

statement : `If |x| ≠ 3, then x ≠ 3` contrapositive : `If x = 3, then |x| = 3`
