Practice makes perfect
To write the statement in if-then form, we have to identify the statement's hypothesis and conclusion. In the if-then form, the hypothesis comes after if and the conclusion comes after then. Hypothesis:&If... Conclusion:&then...

The given statement says that all motorcyclists wear helmets. Here, we start with having a person being a motorcyclist and conclude that that person wears a helmet. With this, we can identify the hypothesis and conclusion. All motorcyclists wear helmets. Now we can write the statement in if-then form. If a person is a motorcyclist, then that person wears a helmet.
