Question

Is the equation true, false, or open? Explain.
9p + 8 = 10p + 7

Answer 1

Explain by solving.

9p + 8 = 10p + 7

Subtract 9p

8 = p + 7

Subtract 7

1 = p

Okay, there IS a solution, but it is nto ALWAYS true. It is true ONLY if p = 1. This makes the original equation Conditionally True.

Oh, settle down. It's a joke, obviously.

I see. Then "Conditionally True" is no good. The only choice from that list is "Open Sentence"
