Question

Is the expression 4(3 + 5) – 10 = 4 x 3 + 5 – 10 true or false? Explain

Answer 1

False.

For the first part, 4(3 + 5) needs to be added first so its 4 * 8.  This is 32 - 10.

The second part will have 4 * 3 which is 12 + 5 which is 17.  Finally subtract 10 and its 7.

And 22 is not equal to 7
