false, 5+5 10.
9. The product of two even numbers is always divisible by 4.
true, 10+10 = 20:4=5
10. The difference between two negative numbers is always negative.
true,
11. For any integer x, x² – x will always result in an even value.
12. For any two integers x and y, |x + y| = |x| + |y|
13. If LM = MP, then M must be the midpoint of LP.
14. All birds can fly.
talse, penguins, ostriches, emu, etc can't fly.
15. The difference between consecutive perfect square numbers is always odd.
6. For any two integers a and b, (a + b)2 = a² + b2
