Question
One of the following statements is false:
- ̶ 7 + (– 6) = – 13
- ̶ 5 + 1 = 4
- 2 + (– 1) = 1
- 8 + (– 9) = –1
Hint:
The answer or adding or subtracting of two numbers will always take the sign of the largest numerical value.
The correct answer is: ̶ 5 + 1 = 4
The statement which is false is option b. Hence, the correct answer is option b.
The equation is -5+1=4, which is wrong.
Here, the greatest numerical value is 5. So, the answer should take the sign of 5, which is negative. But the answer given is +4. Thus, the equation is false.
