Question

Which of the following equations does not represent a true statement

A. -6(-3) = 18
B. -6 + (-3) = -9
C. -6 - (-3) = 3
D. -6 ÷ (-3) = 2

Answer 1

-6(-3)=18, so that is true

-6+(-3)=-6-3=-9 so that is true

-6-(-3)=-6+3=-3 FALSE

-6 ÷ (-2)=2 so that is true

Answer is C

Answer 2

C. -6 - (-3) = 3

Explanation:

An equation requires the both sides right and left to remain equal every time. In the following equation all the equations are balanced except C because that have difference value on both sides. It should be equal.

A. -6(-3) = 18

-6(-3) = 18

18 = 18

B. -6 + (-3) = -9

-6 + (-3) = -9

-9 = -9

C. -6 - (-3) = 3

-6 - (-3) = 3

-9 = 3

D. -6 ÷ (-3) = 2

-6 ÷ (-3) = 2

2 = 2
