Finall Answer:

When
\( v = w \),the statement "v is a direct sum of n(a) and r(a)" may not always hold true.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equality
\( v = w \)indicates that two vectors or spaces are identical. However, the statement "v is a direct sum of n(a) and r(a)" requires a specific relationship between subspaces
\( n(a) \) and \( r(a) \) that form a direct sum decomposition of the space
\( v \). Even when \( v = w \), the subspaces
\( n(a) \) and \( r(a) \)may not meet the conditions to form a direct sum.

This discrepancy could occur due to various factors, such as the properties or dimensions of the subspaces, which might not satisfy the necessary criteria for a direct sum decomposition despite the overall equality of
\( v \) and \( w \).
