Question

Tell whether the equation is true. Justify your answer.

24x3+(15-7)÷2=8x9+12÷2

Answer 1

False
Because the left side comes out to a sum of 40 while 15-7 equals 8 and 24 times 3 equals 72 72 plus 8 equals 80 divided by 2 equals 40 and 8 times 9 equals 72 plus 6 equals 78 plus 6 equals 84
