Question

Consider that x = 5 and y = 7. Which statement is true about x + y?

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is (A) a rational number.

Step-by-step explanation: Given the following values of 'x' and 'y':

x = 5 and y = 7.

We are to select the correct type of number that the sum of 'x' and 'y' represents.

The sum of 'x' and 'y' is given by

`S=x+y=5+7=12.`

Since 12 is a rational number, so the correct option is (A).
