Answer:
11=0
or
-11=0
keep in mind that you get these answers by completely simplifying the equation, but they are both false
Step-by-step explanation:
step 1: simplify both sides
2-16.5 simplifies to -14.5
4-7.5 simplifies to -3.5
so you get -3.5 = -14.5
step 2: add one side to the other to get a zero on one side
add 3.5 on both sides to get 0=-11
or
add 14.5 on both sides to get 11=0
step 3: evaluate the statement
since both -11 and 11 are not equal to 0, this statement is false
