Question. 20
4/2 = 2 denotes a
(A)
numerical equation
(B)
algebraic expression
(C)
equation with a variable
(D)
false statement
Detailed Answer with Explanation:
Step 1: Look at the left side: ( rac{4}{2} ).
Step 2: Divide: ( rac{4}{2} = 2 ).
Step 3: Now the statement is ( 2 = 2 ), which is true.
Step 4: Notice there are only numbers here (no letters/variables). So this is a statement made only with numbers.
Conclusion: ( rac{4}{2} = 2 ) is a numerical equation (a true statement using only numbers).
Why the other options are not correct:
- Algebraic expression: needs letters/variables like ( x ) or ( y ). None here.
- Equation with a variable: again, no variable is present.
- False statement: it is true because ( 2 = 2 ).
