Practice makes perfect
Consider the given equation. -8(-2)-7=14-5 To determine whether this equation is true, false, or open, we need to simplify it by following the order of operations.
-8(-2)-7? =14-5
8* 2-7? =14-5
16-7? =14-5
9=9
Since the left-hand side and the right-hand side are equal, the equation is true.
