1.   Which values are a counterexample to the given statement?
If x + y = an even number, then x is even and y is even.
    A. x = 7, y = 12 B. x = 12, y = 6
    C. x = 10, y = 9 D. x = 21, y = 3
    Hint

  2.   Identify the conclusion in the following algebraic statement:
If a = 3, then 2a + 1 = 7.
    A. 2a + 1 = 7 B. 2a
    C. 2a + 1 D. a = 3
    Hint

  3.   Which values are a counterexample to the given statement?
If x · y = a decimal, then neither x nor y is a whole number.
    A. x = 7.1, y = 2.2 B. x = 1.75, y = 0.9
    C. x = 0.3, y = 0.2 D. x = 1, y = 0.5
    Hint

  4.   Which values of x and y are counterexamples to the given statement?
If xy = an even number, then both x and y are even numbers.
    A. x = 12, y = 4 B. x = 22, y = 20
    C. x = 19, y = 13 D. x = 15, y = 8
    Hint

  5.   Identify the hypothesis in the following statement: If x – 3 = 9, then x = 12.
    A. x – 3 = 9 B. x = 12
    C. x – 3 D. x
