Question

What is the converse of the statement?
"If x - 2 = 5, then x = 7"

Answer 1

"If x=7, then x - 2 = 5"

Step-by-step explanation

Let

`p \to \: q`

be a propositional statement.

The converse of this statement is

`q \to \: p`

In other words, the converse of the statement,

"If p then q" is "If q, then p"

The given given conditional statement is

"If x - 2 = 5, then x = 7"

Therefore the converse is

"If x=7, then x - 2 = 5"
