Question

Which of the following statements is NOT true? (A) cb – bd = b(c - d) (B) -a(b + 16c) = -16ac - ab (C) -bc + a = -(a - bc) (D) b - 3c = -(3c - b) (E) a + b - c = -(-a - b + c)

Answer 1

Explanation:

cb — bd= b(c ‐ d)

you distribute the b with the numbers in the parentheses.

b×c=bc b×-d=-bd

And cb – bd doesn't equal bc–bd.
