I've been stuck on this for a while.

State whether the equation is true false or an open sentence. Show your work.

3(4+-5)=3(-6-2)

5 answers

Did you work it out?

Please post your work.
3(4 + -5) = 3(-6 + -2)

4 + -5 = -1
3(-1) = 3(-6 + -2)

3 * -1
-3 = 3(-6 + -2)

-6 + -2 = -8
-3 = 3(-8)
3 * -8
-3 = -24
Good!

This is a false sentence.
Thanks again.
You are welcome, Peach.
