Label each of the following as true, false, or open.

a. –4(5x) = 12

b. 4 x 6 = 24

c. a + 4 = 6, when a = 2.

d. 4x = 19, when x equals 5.

a. –4(5x) = 12; OPEN

b. 4 x 6 = 24; TRUE

c. a + 4 = 6, when a = 2; TRUE

d. 4x = 19, when x equals 5; FALSE

Step-by-step explanation:

a. –4(5x) = 12 [-20x = 12 {Divide -20 from both sides} x = -0.6 So, if x is = -0.6, then it is true, so OPEN.

b. 4 x 6 = 24 [4 x 6 = 24 so TRUE]

c. a + 4 = 6, when a = 2. (Plug 2 in for a) 2 + 4 = 6; 6 = 6; TRUE

d. 4x = 19, when x equals 5. (Plug 5 in for x) 4(5) = 19; 20 is not = 19; FALSE

a. -0.3 > -0.33
