Question

Is the open sentence 3z=2z+5 true or false when z=5? A. True B. False

Answer 1

Hey there! 

If z = 5 

we replace "z" with "5" 

So, let's test out the problem to see if it is true or false

Problem becomes: $3(5) = 2(5) + 5$

Let's work this out

$3(5) = 15$

Problem becomes: $15 = 2(5) + 5$

$2(5) = 10$

Problem becomes: $15 = 10 + 5$

$10 + 5 = 15$

So, therefore it looks like this statement/ sentence is $True$!
