converse q then p
contrapositive not q then not p
inverse not p then not p
i don't understand how to do b part

b) $$\text{If }|x|=x\text{ then }x\ge 0~.$$

Inverse: $$\text{If }|x|\ne x\text{ then }x< 0~.$$

Now you post the others.

converse if x>=0 then |x|=x
contrapositive if x ne 0 then |x| ne x

NO!

$$\text{If }x<0\text{ then }|x|\ne x~.$$
