Answer:

B is the one equation that is NOT true.

Explanation:

A: 9+4 is 13, and 17-4 is 13 as well. This equation is true, 13=13.

B: 8+7 is 15, and 14+3 is 17. This equation is false, because 15 is not equal to 17. Although we have our answer, we need to still check the other equations.

C: 11 is, well, 11, because nothing changed on that side of the equation. 19-8 is 11, so this is true because 11=11.

D: 5+8 is 13, and 20-7 is 13. This equation is also true, because 13=13.

The only equation that is not true, is B. (8+7 = 14+3)
