Write an equation for the following:

Twelve times h equals one hundred twenty minus thirty-six.

State whether the equation is true, false, or an open sentence. Explain.

The sentence is 12*h=12-36

They didn't give us any information about h. So we can't say if they are right or wrong, it's an open sentence.

Okay, thanks, i was kind of confused what open sentence meant, I don't remember learning about it..

In math, if there's a word you are not sure of, generally you can pretty much guess it's meaning by 'feeling', mathematical vocabulary are constructed by logic.
