To complete the contrapositive of the given statement, "If x is a multiple of 10, it is an even number," we need to follow the logical process of forming the contrapositive. The contrapositive of a conditional statement "If P, then Q" is "If not Q, then not P."
1. Identify the original statement:
- Original: If x is a multiple of 10 (P), then it is an even number (Q).
2. Formulate the contrapositive:
- Contrapositive: If not Q, then not P.
Translating this to our specific case:
- If it is not an even number, then x is not a multiple of 10.
3. Translate into the correct format for the question:
- If x is not an even number, then it is not a multiple of 10.
So, the completed contrapositive statement is:
If x is not an even number, then it is not a multiple of 10.
