Answer:

"If you don't live in Florida, then you don't live in Miami"

Explanation:

Currently taking discrete math... this one hits close to home haha.

The starting statement is an implication in the form:


p \rightarrow q

p: if you live in Miami

q: then you live in Florida

The contrapositive of this implication will be in the form:


\\eg q \rightarrow \\eg p


\\eg q: if you don't live in Florida


\\eg p: you don't live in Miami

Combine the two with the implication for the final phrase:

"If you don't live in Florida, then you don't live in Miami"
