True or false; check my work?

3(a plus b) / (c) = (3a plus b) / (c)





I'm thinking it's false.


Because when you distribute 3, it distributes to both a and b.





So it'd be (3a plus 3b) / (c)





And that doesn't equal the other half of the equation...

You're thinking is right. The distributive law for numbers is





a ( b + c ) = ab + ac





so a is ';distributed'; to b and c.True or false; check my work?
false


prove:


multiply both sides by (c)


3(a+b)=3a+b


3a+3b=3a+b


add (-3a) to both sides


3b=b


therefore it is false
You're absolutely right.
yup u r exactly rite carry on ...........
