Which is NOT true?11 = 1111 = 18 - 711 + 5 = 15 + 1111 + 3 = 6 + 8

1 answer

To determine which statement is NOT true, let's evaluate each equation provided:

  1. 11 = 1111: This is NOT true. The number 11 is not equal to 1111.

  2. 18 - 711 + 5 = 15: Let’s calculate it.

    • \( 18 - 711 + 5 = 18 - 711 + 5 = -693 \)
    • This does not equal 15 (which makes this statement false as well).
  3. 1111 + 3 = 6 + 8: Let's check this.

    • \( 6 + 8 = 14 \)
    • \( 1111 + 3 = 1114 \)
    • Since 1114 does not equal 14, this statement is also false.
  4. So far, we've found three false statements. Let's check the last one:

    • 6 + 8 is 14, which is true.

In conclusion, the statement "11 = 1111" is the first and the most straightforward one that is definitely NOT true.
