Exercise 2 Page 442

The statement defines an equation based on the value of the equation's variable.

2x+7=1 because x=- 3.
If then form: If x=- 3, then 2x+7=1.

Practice makes perfect
The statement defines an equation based on the value of the equation's variable. Therefore, the conclusion is the equation and the hypothesis is the value of x.

2x+7=1 because x=- 3. Having identified the hypothesis and conclusion, we can write the statement in if-then form. If x=- 3, then 2x+7=1.
