You can put this solution on YOUR website! k+j=2j+4
subtract j
k=j+4
subtract j
k-j=4
k-j is even
only choices are D and E since III is true.
but we know nothing about j and k individually.
We do know that 2j+4 is even.
D)III only
You can put this solution on YOUR website! D. III only
The sum (j+k) is even since 2*(any number)+4 must be even. Therefore their difference must be even too. j and k could both be odd.
