SOLUTION: I believe that the product of two even numbers is always even. EX. 2x4=8 12x20=240 16x32=512 100x200=20,000. Is this inductive or deductive reasoning?

Wouldn't that be inductive reasoning because you develop your own thoughts on how that works. If someone else made a law for that even product law and you stated that law, it would be deductive.
I personally think it is inductive reasoning. :)
