Select the mathematical sentence that is true.
A. \(3 \cdot (7 - 3) + 5 \leq 6 + 2 \cdot 1\)
B. \(3 \cdot (7 - 3) + 5 < 6 + 2 \cdot 1\)
C. \(3 \cdot (7 - 3) + 5 > 6 + 2 \cdot 1\)
D. \(3 \cdot (7 - 3) + 5 = 6 + 2 \cdot 1\)
Answer (2)
Answer is C:
17> 12
17 is greater than 12
The true mathematical sentence is option C: 6 + 2 \cdot 1"> 3 ⋅ ( 7 − 3 ) + 5 > 6 + 2 ⋅ 1 . This is confirmed by simplifying both sides where the left side equals 17 and the right side equals 8. Therefore, 17 is greater than 8, making option C true.
