Answer:

option (d) is correct.

Conclusion is statement : 3x – 4 = 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  The  two statements

Statement If x = 3, then 3x – 4 = 5.

Conclusion x = 3

Law of detachment states that if two statements are true then third is also true and we can find it.

Statement 1: If p, then q.

Statement 2: p

then Conclusion: q

Here, p = x = 3 and q = 3x – 4 = 5.

then according to law of detachment  Conclusion is statement q: 3x – 4 = 5.

Thus, option (d) is correct.
