We are given several statements and we must determine which one is true, n is a fixed positive integer, it asks which statement is true regardless of which positive integer n you choose?
The first one states that if n is divisible by 6, then n is divisible by 3.
I chose 12 for n and it was true.
I chose 18 for n and it was true as well.
Does this mean that the statement is true? Because I believe it is true.
Another one states if n is divisible by 3, then n is divisible by 6.
This one is still true because if you substitute 12 and 18 it still holds true.
Another one also states that if n2 is divisible by 6, then n is divisible by 6.
I chose 6 for n and it held true, ((6)2)/6 and 6/6 worked out meaning it must be true.
Is this the correct way to solve this question or am I doing it incorrectly?
Thank you.
