## Mathematical Proof Exercises

### Problem 7:
**Prove:**
For all \( n, m \in \mathbb{Z} \), if \( n \) and \( m \) are odd, then \( n \cdot m \) is odd.

### Problem 8:
**Prove:**
For all \( a, b, c \in \mathbb{Z} \), if \( a \mid b \) and \( a \mid c \), then \( a \mid (b-c) \).

---

These problems are typical exercises in discrete mathematics focused on understanding properties of integers and proofs involving divisibility and parity. 

### Explanation of Symbols:
- \( \forall \): For all
- \( \in \): Belongs to
- \( \mathbb{Z} \): The set of all integers
- \( \mid \): Divides (e.g., \( a \mid b \) means \( a \) divides \( b \) without a remainder)

### Study Tips:
- Consider examples to understand odd numbers and their products.
- Review properties of divisibility and how they apply to differences of numbers.
- Practice writing structured mathematical proofs using direct proof and proof by contradiction methods.
