~~~~~~~~~~~~~

            To be mathematically correct (and do not scare readers), the statement needs to be modified.
            The modified version is THIS :

                If x and y are integer numbers such that 5x-y is divisible by 4 and 2x+3y is odd, then 7x+2y is odd.

Below is my solution for this modified version.

Since 2x + 3y is odd, it means that 3y is odd.


In turn, it means that y is odd.


Next, 5x-y is divisible by 4.  It implies that x-y is divisible by 4.

Since y is odd (see above), it means that x is odd.


Then 7x is odd, and hence 7x + 2y is odd.

Proved and solved.
