Solution

The correct answer is b. (1) is True and (2) is False.

Here's why:

(1) If n is an even number, then 5n + 2 is always an even number. This is true. An even number can be written in the form 2k, where k is an integer. If you substitute this into the expression 5n + 2, you get 5(2k) + 2 = 10k + 2 = 2(5
