TopicProof
TypeCounter example to disprove statement
DifficultyEasy -1.8 This is a straightforward disproof by counterexample requiring students to recognize that x² = 25 has solution x = -5 which doesn't satisfy x - 5 = 0, demonstrating the biconditional is false. It tests basic understanding of logical equivalence and solving quadratic equations, but requires minimal steps and no sophisticated reasoning.
Spec1.01c Disproof by counter example

Show that the following statement is false. $$x - 5 = 0 \Leftrightarrow x^2 = 25$$ [2]
