If the truth value is true for the following statements :
A <---> B
A ⋁ B
G ---> ∼ D
D
What is the truth value of the statement B ?
Similar to how the value of x^2 + 3x - 5 is determined by the value of x, the truth values of these statements are determined by the truth values of the variables they contain.Quote:

I am sorry; I read the question wrong. I thought that you need to find the truth values of the first four statements.
If A \/ B is true, then A is true or B is true. In the second case, we know the truth value of B. What can you say in the first case taking into account that A <-> B is true?
I mean to Consider the 3 possible cases (given that it's true) for A V B, and to use A <---> B to see what each case means for B
I think i understand that now,the first statement means either both A and B are true, or both A and B are false. From the second statement, at least one of A or B is true. Therefore, both A and B must be true.
I agree.
