Question

true or false and why please help!
2+3 not equal to 5 if and only 10-1= 3^2

Answer 1

thats false because 2 plus 3 does equal five and 10-1 does equal 3 squared...

Answer 2

What is the confusing part of this question?

Answer 3

is it that simple?

Answer 4

Yep! You can rephrase it in your mind as:

A true statement (3+2=5) is not true if and only if another true statement is true (10-1=3^2)

Try to think of it in terms of that, and don't overthink them! =D

Answer 5

Answer 6
