Let the universe for both variables x and y be the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}. Let p(x,y) = "x divides the sum x + y". Give the truth value of the indicated statement; explain your answer, and give a counterexample in case the statement is false.?x ?y p(x, y)

What will be an ideal response?


False; counterexample: choose x = 2, y = 3, then 2 does not divide 5.
