Question

15. Construct Arguments Maggie said that

she could add 8 to both sides of any
equation and the expressions on both sides
of the equation would still be equal. Do you
agree? Explain.

Answer 1

I do not agree because if there is an equation like 7+8 the answers would not be equal. They can only be equal if you add 8 to each side of the same number. For example, 7+7 with 8 added on both sides would be equal. But Maggie says that it can be equal for any equation. Therefore, Maggie is wrong.
