Exercise 7 Page 447

Identify the hypothesis and conclusion of the conditional statement.

If x=2, then 9x+5=23.

Practice makes perfect
To write the statement in if-then form, we have to identify the hypothesis and the conclusion of the conditional statement. In the if-then form, the hypothesis comes after if and the conclusion comes after then. Hypothesis:&If... Conclusion:&then...

The given statement says that 9x+5=23 because x=2. This means, if we start with x=2, then 9x+5 has to equal 23. We can identify the hypothesis and the conclusion. 9x+5=23, because x=2. Now we can write the statement in if-then form. If x=2, then 9x+5=23.
