Prove by contrapositive: If x+y is even then either x and y are both even or x and y are both odd.
Vincenzo Z.
Let a and b be integers. Prove the following statement by contrapositive: "If ab is even, then a is even or b is even." In your proof, you may need to use the fact that an integer is not even implies that it is odd, and vice versa.
