Answer: if it's true that 10 > 7 (P), then it's also true that 10 > 5 (Q).

Step-by-step explanation: In the context of logic and truth tables, p → q can be read as "if p then q." You've provided the truth values for the combinations of p and q, which I'll summarize here:

If p and q are both False (F), then p → q is True (T).

If p is True (T) and q is False (F), then p → q is False (F).

If p is False (F) and q is True (T), then p → q is True (T).

If p and q are both True (T), then p → q is True (T).

Given your propositions:

P: 10 > 7

Q: 10 > 5

P is True because 10 is indeed greater than 7. Q is also True because 10 is greater than 5.

Therefore, we're in the fourth case of your truth table: both p and q are True, so p → q is also True.
