help pls
OpenStudy (anonymous):
True. Any numbers absolute value is that number times itself or squared. A negative times a negative is a positive and a positive times a positive is a positive

x(x+5) and 2x+5x are equivalent expressions

if false, we need to prove it by giving a counter example :/
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you're unsure, i can post a different one, they are all true/false
OpenStudy (anonymous):
False.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I'm trying to think of a counter example
OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know this one is false, but can't find counter
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Actually i think that that one is true
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops! nvm, it says prove it "OR" give a counter example, we can just prove it
OpenStudy (anonymous):
If a number is a rational number, then it is an interger
OpenStudy (anonymous):
For x(x+5) you can prove it because it is going to equal 2x+5
