When Are Statements Equivalent?

Two statement forms are logically equivalent if, and only if, their resulting truth tables are identical for each variation of statement variables. p q and q p have the same truth values, so they are logically equivalent.

What makes a statement equivalent?

Determine equivalent and non-equivalent statements

Equivalent Statements are statements that are written differently, but hold the same logical equivalence.

How do you know if a statement is equivalent?

Logical equivalence occurs when two statements have the same truth value. This means that one statement can be true in its own context, and the second statement can also be true in its own context, they just both have to have the same meaning.
