1 answer

Let's evaluate each equation to determine which one is NOT true:

  1. 5 + 14 = 20 - 1

    • Left side: 5 + 14 = 19
    • Right side: 20 - 1 = 19
    • 19 = 19 (True)
  2. 9 + 5 = 7 + 7

    • Left side: 9 + 5 = 14
    • Right side: 7 + 7 = 14
    • 14 = 14 (True)
  3. 15 = 4 + 11

    • Right side: 4 + 11 = 15
    • 15 = 15 (True)
  4. 15 - 9 = 9 - 4

    • Left side: 15 - 9 = 6
    • Right side: 9 - 4 = 5
    • 6 ≠ 5 (False)

The equation that is NOT true is 15 - 9 = 9 - 4.
