STEP - BY - STEP EXPLANATION

What to find?

Decide if the given statement if tru or false.

Given:

{5, 6, 1} ⊂ {6, 1, 5}

Observe the above.

Given the set { 6, 1, 5}, since all the elements in {5, 6, 1} are also contained in {6, 1, 5}, then {5, 6, 1} is a subset of {6, 5, 1}.

Therefore, the statement is true.
