Question

True for false? 98 x 34 = (100 x 34) - (2 x 34)

Answer 1

True

Explanation:

First, we do 98 x 34, which gives you 3332.

Now we do 100 x 34, which gives you 3400.

Next, we do 2 x 34, which is 68.

Now, we do 3400-68, according to the PEMDAS rules.

So now, we get 3332=3332, which makes the statement true.

Did you notice? (100 x 34) - (2 x 34) is actually just 34 (100-2), which is 34 x 98, which is the original statement!

I hope this helped! If you want more information, do some research on Pemdas Rules (order of operations)
