\text{In order to find your answer, we would have to solve the equation}\\\\\text{Both sides need to be the same value for it to be true}\\\\\text{Solve:}\\\\1+16=14+2\\\\17=16\\\\\text{Since the numbers are not equal to each other, this equation would}\\\text{be false}\\\\\boxed{\text{False}}

Answer:

That my friend is FALSE

Explanation:

To figure something like this out you just need to add the numbers on both sides. If they end up to be the same thing then it is true. If not, its false.

1+16=14+2

17=14+2

17=16

Nope. 17 does not equal 16. So it is false.
