Select why this equation is true or false without adding. 52 + 27 = 49 + 24
A. )True because, if we compare 52 to 27 and 49 to 24 they are exactly the same
distance apart on a number line. They just have different starting and ending points.
B.). True because, both 52-27 and 49-24 result in the same answer of 25.
C). False because, if 3 is subtracted from 52 to get 49, then, 49 and 27 more would not
equal 49 and 24 more. Putting together two larger numbers is not the same as
putting together two smaller numbers.
D). False because 52 + 27 does not equal 49
