Pg 400 (372) - Q19

  In order for (x+7)/2 to be an integer, x+7 must be even because only even/even=integer.
 Case I: If x is odd, then x+7 will be even because odd+odd = even.  So this one works.
 Case II: If x is a multiple of 7, it won’t always work because multiples of 7 such as 14 can be even, which would make x+7 odd because even+odd = odd.  This case does not hold true.
 Case III:  Since x is odd (Case I), x+5 is even, which means (x+5)/2 is an integer.  This holds true as well.
 Cases I and III must be true, so the answer is E.
