Answer:

A. 3x-4=5.

Explanation:

We are given two statements

Statement 1:if x=3 then 3x-4=5.

Statement 2: x=3

Law of detachment: if two statements are given

Statement: if p , then q.

Statement 2: p

Then conclusion: q

Using law of detachment to draw a conclusion

by comparing given statements with the statements of law of detachment then we get

p:x=3

q: 3x-4=5

Conclusion: q

Conclusion: 3x-4=5

Hence, the conclusion is possible and conclusion is 3x-4=5.
