To determine if the equation is true or false, we need to evaluate the expression on the left side of the equation and compare it to the value on the right side of the equation.

Let's apply the addition operation to 83 and -11:

83 + (-11) = 72

83 - 11 = 72

72 = 72

As we can see, the left side of the equation simplifies to 72, while the right side of the equation is already 72. Since both values are equal, the equation is true, not false.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

a) true
