Question

Answer yes or no and explain why or why not.if a/5 = 8 + 9, does a/5 + 9 = 8 + 9?

Answer 1

Equations

We are given the following equation:

a/5 = 8+ 9

Adding 9 to both sides of the equation we have:

a/5 + 9 = 8 + 9 + 9

It's evident that a/5 + 9 is not equal to 8 + 9, but to 8+9+9 instead.

Answer: No
