Given:

The statement is:

{5, 6, 7} = {5, 5, 6, 7, 7}

To find:

Whether the given statement is true or false.

Solution:

Two sets are equal if they have exactly the same elements.

The given set {5, 6, 7} has three elements and the set {5, 5, 6, 7, 7} has five elements but we known that all the elements of a set are distinct. It means, it has no repeated element.

Set {5, 5, 6, 7, 7} has three distinct elements 5, 6, 7. So,

{5, 5, 6, 7, 7} = {5, 6, 7}

Therefore, the given statement is true.
