Which is NOT true? A. 5 + 14 = 20 - 1 B. 9 + 5 = 7 + 7 C. 15 = 4 + 11 D. 15 - 9 = 9 - 4

1 answer

Let's evaluate each statement:

A. \(5 + 14 = 20 - 1\)

  • Left side: \(5 + 14 = 19\)
  • Right side: \(20 - 1 = 19\)
  • This statement is true.

B. \(9 + 5 = 7 + 7\)

  • Left side: \(9 + 5 = 14\)
  • Right side: \(7 + 7 = 14\)
  • This statement is true.

C. \(15 = 4 + 11\)

  • Left side: \(15\)
  • Right side: \(4 + 11 = 15\)
  • This statement is true.

D. \(15 - 9 = 9 - 4\)

  • Left side: \(15 - 9 = 6\)
  • Right side: \(9 - 4 = 5\)
  • This statement is false.

Therefore, the statement that is NOT true is D: \(15 - 9 = 9 - 4\).
