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.

@ganeshie8 im going to need help understanding this

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

@ganeshie8 if you dont mind

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first write the contrapositive

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

yea i know but it's just numbers

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

ok

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

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

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

but that doesnt appear as one of my answers

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):

nvm

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

B. If x = 3, then |x| = 3. The conditional statement and the contrapositive are both true.

OpenStudy (thefluffmuncher):
