c) ad = bc, given that b and d are not 0.
d) (a + b)/b = (c + d)/d, given that b and d are not 0.

Answer 1

if it is not clear, try it with numbers and see which one is false
for example, put
\[\frac{2}{3}=\frac{4}{6}\]i.e. make \(a=2,b=3,c=4,d=6\) and check which one of the 4 statements is false

Answer 2

Okay let me do that

Answer 3

Answer 6

I mean it works with what its saying. Like number 2 is also correct, it does nto equal 0

Answer 7

unless you mean "right, it is NOT true" since \(2\times 4\neq 3\times 6\)
