Q: If a number is even, which of the following must be true?
Solution: An even number is defined as being divisible by 2.
Steps: 4
Step 1: Understand what an even number is. An even number is any integer that can be divided by 2 without leaving a remainder.
Step 2: Check if a number is even. To do this, take the number and divide it by 2.
Step 3: If the result of the division is a whole number (no decimal or fraction), then the number is even.
Step 4: If the number is even, it must be true that it can be expressed as 2 times another integer (for example, 2, 4, 6 can be expressed as 2x1, 2x2, 2x3 respectively).
