When dividing three real numbers the order can effect the answer.

Example:

8:4:2

1. 8:4:2=(8:4):2=2:2=1;

2. 8:4:2=8:(4:2)=8:2=4.

As you can see the results are different.

Answer: It is not true.

<span>Yes, the order does matter. Real numbers include rational numbers, and whole numbers or integers are rational numbers. When dividing whole numbers, the order does matter. </span>

Answer: 1.) x - 2y = 4 , add 2y to both sides. ---> answer is, X = 2y + 4

2.) 2x - 6y = 8, Add 6y to both sides, then divide both sides by 2. --> answer is, X = 3y + 4
