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 = 10, y = 9 B. x = 7, y = 12
    C. x = 12, y = 6 D. x = 21, y = 3
    Hint

  2.   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 = 0.3, y = 0.2 B. x = 1.75, y = 0.9
    C. x = 7.1, y = 2.2 D. x = 1, y = 0.5
    Hint

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

  4.   Identify the conclusion in the following statement: If 13b + 12 = 77, then b = 5.
    A. 13b + 12 = 17 B. b
    C. 13b + 12 D. b = 5
    Hint

  5.   Which values are a counterexample to the given statement?
If x × y = 0, then x must be 0.
    A. x = 0, y = 1 B. x = 0, y = 0
    C. x = -1, y = 1 D. x = 5, y = 0
