Exercise 14 Page 56

Remember that addition of a negative number is the same as subtraction.

False

Practice makes perfect
Consider the given equation. 14+7+(- 1)=21 To determine whether this equation is true, false, or open, we need to simplify it by following the order of operations.
14+7+(- 1)? =21
14+7-1? =21
20≠21
Since the left-hand side and the right-hand side are not equal, the equation is false.
