Using the definitions of even integer and odd integer, give a proof by contraposition that this statement is true for all integers n : if 3 n - 5 is even, then n is odd.

Suppose is even, i.e. there is some integer such that . Then



where is just some other integer. Therefore is odd, proving the contrapositive, and so the original statement is also true.
