Statement:


if\text{ 3x=0, then x}\\e0

c)The inverse of the statement is:


\text{if 3x}\\e0,\text{ then x=0}

This inverse statement is not true, because for 3x not to be equal to 0, x must be a value that is not 0.

d) The contrapositive of the statement is:


\text{if x=0, then 3x}\\e0

The contrapositive statement is not true, because if x is equal to 0, then multiplying it by 3 must give 0.
