What is the inverse of the following statement: “If x is a whole number, then x = 5”? a) If x is not a whole number, then x ≠ 5.
b) If x = 5, then x is a whole number.
c) If x ≠ 5, then x is not a whole number.
d) If x is not a whole number, then x = 5.

It's a

Step-by-step explanation:

Because inverse means opposite so they are asking for the opposite of the statement "If x is a whole number, then x = 5”

8 Points

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one-Calculate how many 2 point answers and 5 point answers there are.

2 x 8 = 16

Since there are half as many 5 point answers as there are 2 point answers,

5 x 4 = 20

Next calculate how many remaining questions there are. The numbers would be 8 since you had 8 2 point questions and 4 since half of 8 is four.

8 + 4 = 12

Subtract that number by the total questions, being 28.

28 - 12 = 16

Next figure out how many 4 point questions you had (28-12=16)

16 x 4 = 64

To check your work simply add up the totals and see if they match up to the given amount of points (100).

16 + 20 + 64 = 100

So the answer is simply 8-four point questions.
