following mathematical statements.
a. -2x <12 x >-6
b. 2x = 12 2x +3=15
c. 3+x+2= x +2+3=x+5
d. If 11<20 and 20<30, then 11<30.
e. If x <0, then x² >0.
2. Write TRUE if the mathematical statement is true, otherwise, write
FALSE.
a. cx-d =-cxd
b. Subtraction is commutative.
c. Subtraction is associative.
d. Zero (0) is the only real number which is its own additive inverse.
e. Adding a negative number to both sides of an inequality reverses
the inequality sign.
