Question

Is this statement true or false? 4[3(5+2)]=95−4⋅3

Answer 1

False

Explanation:

OK so I'm going to assume the[ and] represents absolute value.

4[3(7)]=95-12

4[21]=83

4*21=83

84=83 is false, so the statement is false.

Answer 2

Hey!

------------------------------------

Solution:

4[3(5 + 2)] = 95 − 4 ⋅ 3

~Add

4[3(7)] = 95 − 4 ⋅ 3

~Multiply

4[21] = 95 − 12

~Multiply

84 = 95 - 12

~Subtract

84 ≠ 83

------------------------------------

Hence, the statement is false.
