Choose TRUE if the sentence or equation is a statement and FALSE if it is not for the following sentences.
Understand the Problem
The question provides a set of statements that require evaluation to determine if they are true or false based on mathematical principles. Each statement represents a different kind of mathematical truth or logic that needs to be assessed.

Steps to Solve
- Evaluate the first statement: $2 + 2 = 4$
This statement is true, as the sum of 2 and 2 equals 4.
- Assess the second statement: Is 5 a prime number?
This statement is true; 5 is a prime number because it has no divisors other than 1 and itself.
- Analyze the third statement: If ..., then ...
This phrase is incomplete and does not present a definitive statement. Therefore, it is false.
- Evaluate the fourth statement: $7$ is an odd number and $10$ is a prime number.
This statement is false because, while 7 is odd, 10 is not a prime number (it has divisors other than 1 and itself, namely 2 and 5).
- Review the fifth statement: Let $x$ be a real number.
This is a valid mathematical statement but does not assert any truth value. Hence, it is considered true.
- Check the sixth statement: The sum of any two even numbers is an even number.
This statement is true. When you add two even numbers, the result is always even.
- Examine the seventh statement: Close the door.
This is a command, not a mathematical statement, making it false.
- Assess the eighth statement: $5 + 7 = 12$.
This statement is true; the sum of 5 and 7 equals 12.
- Evaluate the ninth statement: The square root of 16 is greater than 5.
This statement is false because the square root of 16 is 4, which is not greater than 5.

More Information
- The evaluation includes basic arithmetic, properties of numbers (like prime numbers), and logical reasoning.
- The terms true and false are often used in mathematics to express validity.
Tips
- Misinterpreting incomplete phrases as true statements.
- Confusing prime numbers with other categories of numbers.
- Miscalculating simple arithmetic sums.
