Answer: The truth value of the statement p ∧ q is TRUE.
Step-by-step explanation: We are the given the following two statements :
p: |-8| - |3| = 5
q: 0 is the additive identity.
We are to find the truth value of "p ∧ q".
We know that
for any two statements p and q, p ∧ q is true if both the statements p and q are true and is false otherwise.
We have
|-8| + |3| = 8 - 3 =5. So, p is true.
O is the additive identity, q is also rue.
Therefore, the statement p ∧ q is TRUE.
Thus, the truth value of the statement p ∧ q is TRUE.
