Question 120913 • FL-1206310-Geometry A - Flex

Which is the contrapositive of p → q?

Answer
A
If 3x + 7 = −5, then 4x + 12 = –4.
B
If 4x + 12 = –4, then 3x + 7 = −5.
C
If 3x + 7 ≠ −5, then 4x + 12 ≠ –4.
D
If 4x + 12 ≠ –4, then 3x + 7 ≠ −5.

Explanation

The contrapositive of “if p, then q” is “if not q, then not p.” Here, p is “3x + 7 = −5” and q is “4x + 12 = −4,” so the contrapositive is “If 4x + 12 ≠ −4, then 3x + 7 ≠ −5.”
