your friend thinks that the equation K-3.5=21 is a true statement. is your friend correct? explain plz answer
plz people i really need it
a 'true' statement is a statement that is true for any number for example x = x is a true statement
K-3.5=21 is not a true statement if you plug in the wrong number for k , for example if i plug in k = 1
a true statement with a variable x is called an identity. a statement that is true for some x but not all x is called a conditional equation. a statement that is false for all x is called a contradiction. 2x = 3x + 1 , this is a contradiction
so what the answer
it is not a complete statement, so it can neither be true or false
The answer is your friend is wrong.

$$\Huge K-3.5=21$$ This is an open sentence, because it contains a variable.
If K=24.5 then it is a true statement, because 21=21 is a true statement.
