For the following true conditional statement, write the converse. if the converse is also true, combine the statements as a biconditional. if x = 3, then x2 = 9. a. if x2 = 9, then x = 3. x2 = 9 if and only if x = 3. b. if x2 = 9, then x = 3. x=3 if and only if x2 = 9. c. if x2 = 3, then x = 9. d. if x2 = 9, then x = 3.

D. If x2 = 9, then x = 3.

The converse reverses the order of phrases in "if p then q" so it becomes "if q then p". Here, that makes the converse ...

... If x^2 = 9, then x = 3.

The converse is not true (x may be -3), so we're finished with the problem. The appropriate choice is the one indicated above.
