The converse means to simply switch the two given statements or facts.
For the given conditional statement, the converse will be:
if 2x-5=19, then x=12
Now we need to check whether the converse is true or not:
2x-5=19
2x=19+5=24
x=24/2=12
Thus, the converse is true
Extra note:
When the converse of the conditional statement is found to be true, then this statement is said to be a bi-conditional statement and we write the converse as follows:
2x-5=19 if and only if x=12
