Question

Evaluate the numerical expression 4(8 - 2) = (-3) + 7

Answer 1

Answer:

4 ( 8 - 2 ) = (-3) + 7 -> this is a false statement

Step-by-step explanation:

4 ( 8 - 2 ) = ( -3 ) + 7

Simplify the parenthesis

4 ( 6 ) = (-3) + 7

Multiply;

24 = (-3) + 7

Add, remember, adding a negative number and a positive number is the same as subtracting the negative number from the positive number,

24 = 4

This statement is not true.

Answer 2

If you were trying to see if it was true or false, it’s false.
But if you were trying to solve it, it would be 24=4
