Answer: If x^2 = 25, then x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For the conditional format of "If P, then Q", the converse would be of the form "If Q, then P". We swap the roles of P and Q.

The original conditional "if x = 5, then x^2 = 25" is true because 5^2 = 25.

However, the converse is partially true. The x^2 = 25 leads to x = 5 or x = -5. We could say x = plus/minus 5
