If a number is an integer, then it is either positive or negative. Which is the hypothesis of the conditional?

O A. A number is an integer.

B. A number is either positive or negative.

о O

C. A number is both positive and negative.

OD. A number is not an integer.

A. A number is an integer

Step-by-step explanation:

When we write a statement such as “If P then Q” we should note that the statement means that anytime P is true, it also means that Q must also be true.

The statement P is what we refer to as a hypothesis of the conditional statement, while we refer to the statement Q as conclusion of a conditional statement.

In the above example, the hypothesis if the conditional will be "a number is an integer" while the conclusion will be "it is either positive or negative".

the correct answer is 5

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
