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?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
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. :)
