Can you check if the answer is correct and of there any grammar mistakes.
Write True or False and EXPLAIN your reasoning for the answer!!!!
8. (5 - 2) - 1 = 5 - (2 - 1)
Answer: True
Reason: The reason why my answer to this question is true is because when we change the grouping by moving the parenthesis in addition + multiplication the answer does not change.
9. 3 x (2 x 4) = (3 x 2) x 4
Answer: False
Reason: The reason why my answer to this question is false is because when we change the grouping by moving the parenthesis in addition + multiplication the answer does not change.
10. 6 divide by 3 = 3 divide by 6
Answer: True
Reason: The reason why my answer to this question is true is because when we change the order in subtraction and division the answer is the same.
11. 5 + 8 = 8 + 5
Answer: True
Reason: The reason why my answer to this question is true is because when we change the order in addition and multiplication the answer is the same.
If I got it wrong in one of the questions please explain so that way I can understand why.

8. False
left side = (5-2) - 1 = 3 - 1 = 2
right side = 5-(2-1) = 5 - 1 = 4
9. True
LS = 3x(2x4) = 3x8 = 24
RS = (3x2)x4 = 6x4 = 24
10. False
LS = 6/3 = 2
RS = 3/6 = 1/2 ,
You got 11. right
multiplication and division are inverses of each other
e.g. 5x6 = 30
30 รท 5 = 6
addition and subtraction are inverses of each other
e.g. 3+4 = 7
7 - 4 = 3

Let's check each of your answers:
8. (5 - 2) - 1 = 5 - (2 - 1)
Answer: True
Reasoning: Your reasoning is correct. When we change the grouping by moving the parenthesis in addition and subtraction, the answer does not change. So, both sides of the equation are equal.
9. 3 x (2 x 4) = (3 x 2) x 4
Answer: True
Reasoning: I'm sorry, but your reasoning is incorrect. When we change the grouping by moving the parenthesis in multiplication, the answer can change. Let's solve each side of the equation separately:
Left side: 3 x (2 x 4) = 3 x 8 = 24
Right side: (3 x 2) x 4 = 6 x 4 = 24
Since both sides of the equation are equal, the answer is True, not False.
10. 6 divided by 3 = 3 divided by 6
Answer: False
Reasoning: I'm sorry, but your reasoning is incorrect. When we change the order in division, the answer does change. Let's solve each side of the equation separately:
Left side: 6 divided by 3 = 2
Right side: 3 divided by 6 = 0.5
Since both sides of the equation are not equal (2 and 0.5 are not the same), the answer is False, not True.
11. 5 + 8 = 8 + 5
Answer: True
Reasoning: Your reasoning is correct. When we change the order in addition, the answer does not change. So, both sides of the equation are equal.
Therefore, your corrected answers are:
8. True
9. True
10. False
11. True
