2 answers:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- Option A
tells us that: When we add 5 to a variable x, we get 20. As it has a unique value for x and is completely equal to it(i.e. 15), It is an equality.
- Option B
tells us that: A variable x equals to 5. Hence, as x is unique for 5 and is wholly equal to it, it's an equality too.
- Option C
tells us that: A variable x isn't 5 but lesser than it. As we cannot equate it to 5, nor we are given the nature of the variable x, it is an Inequality.
- Option D
is an expression; It can't be called an equation or an inequality unless we relate it with another expression.
