Medal is offered!! Which of the following does NOT show a true identity equation? A. 7 + 13 = 5 + 15 B. 8 + 3 = 2 + 9 C. 5 + 3 = 8 + 2 D. 4 + 1 = 2 + 3

OpenStudy (photon336):

which one do you think and why?

OpenStudy (janu16):

@XxmathrulezXx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

20, because both sides added are the same number: 20.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Am I correct?

OpenStudy (janu16):

C is not because 5 plus 3 is 8 and 8 plus 2 is 10 and they dont match

OpenStudy (photon336):

well, remember both the right and the left hand sides of the equation have to be equal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

****A

OpenStudy (janu16):

no C

OpenStudy (photon336):

@XxmathrulezXx an equation to be true the left hand side must equal the right hand side

OpenStudy (photon336):

A is correct because on both sides equal 20

OpenStudy (photon336):

can you see why?

OpenStudy (janu16):

it says wht not shows true identity

OpenStudy (janu16):

@Photon336

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, I see why.

OpenStudy (photon336):

I meant A is correct in the sense that on both sides are 20 but it's not the answer we're looking for

OpenStudy (janu16):

even D equal same on both side and also B

OpenStudy (janu16):

yes @XxmathrulezXx so its actually C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you both.
