You can put this solution on YOUR website! no, only the contrapositive is true
.
Example, If John then Athlete,,,,p=John,,,,q=Athlete,,if p then q
.
Converse,,, if q then p,,,,If Athlete then John,,,,might be but not always
.
.
.
Inverse,, if not p then not q,,,if not John then not Athlete,,again not always
.
Contrapositive, if not q then not p,,,if not Athlete then not John,,,true
