What is the inverse of the following conditional statement? "If two numbers are odd, then their sum is always even." If their sum is not always even, then the two numbers are not odd. Two numbers are odd if and only if their sum is even. If their sum is always even, then the two numbers are odd. If two numbers are not odd, then their sum is not always even.

Okay so first, do you think 2 odds make an even?
Yes.
Yes, that's correct. So what can we eliminate with the process of elimination of the answer choices?
The statement is "Statement If p, then q ." My source: Google. So we can eliminate A correct?
Because you can get even numbers without having odd numbers.
The answer cannot be B, because you can have odd numbers and it can still be odd. 3+3=9 3 isn't even, 9 isn't even.
D is incorrect because it's saying if you have an even and an even then it's odd. But we can do 2+2=4 Even, even, even. So what's left?
I believe your answer would be C. I hope this helped c:
this makes so mch sense thank you!
You're Welcome!
wait
i think you got it wrong
cz its asking for inverse
inverse is "if its not p then not q"
Let me double check c:
so A??
okk
Inverse means opposite, correct?
i think so
Yes, okay.
wait d might be it too
right?
So it's asking for the opposite of "If two numbers are odd, then their sum is always even."
Correct me if I am wrong.
So then your answer would be A, because if two numbers are not always even, then the two numbers are not odd which is the opposite of the question.
wht abt D? isnt that opposite aswell
Hm, Indeed. One moment, please.
Okay, yes I think I may be D, it could be A but I re-read and I think D is the closer opposite. c:
okay thank you ill go w that
No problem! c:
