Question 3 Find the values of the following expressions. For each pair, first try to guess whether they have the same value. When are the two expressions equal? (a) (6 + 10) – 2 and 6 + (10 – 2) Solving each separately (6 + 10) – 2 = 6 + 10 – 2 = 16 – 2 = 14 6 + (10 – 2) = 6 + 8 = 14 So, both expressions are equal Question 3 Find the values of the following expressions. For each pair, first try to guess whether they have the same value. When are the two expressions equal? (b) 16 – (8 – 3) and (16 – 8) – 3 Solving each separately 16 – (8 – 3) = 16 – 5 = 11 (16 – 8) – 3 = 8 – 3 = 5 So, both expressions are not equal Question 3 Find the values of the following expressions. For each pair, first try to guess whether they have the same value. When are the two expressions equal? (c) 27 – (18 + 4) and 27 + (–18 – 4) Solving each separately 27 – (18 + 4) = 27 – 22 = 5 27 + (–18 – 4) = 27 – (18 + 4) = 27 – 22 = 5 So, both expressions are equal
