Answer 22

The inverse of a conditional statement is formed by negating the hypothesis and negating the conclusion of the original statement.
In other words, the word "not" is added to both parts of the sentence.

Example:

Conditional: "If you grew up in Alaska, then you have seen snow."

Inverse: "If you did not grow up in Alaska, then you have not seen snow."
