Answer: B: False.

Explanation:

Use PEMDAS ( Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction ) to solve this problem.

Step One: Solve for (5-4) + 10

1) (5-4) = 1

2) 1 + 10 = 11

Step Two: Solve for 5 - ( 4 + 10 )

1) ( 4 + 10 ) = 14

2) 5 - 14 = -9

11 and -9 are not equal so this statement is false.
