2-16.5=4-7.5

11=0

or

-11=0

keep in mind that you get these answers by completely simplifying the equation, but they are both false

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides

2-16.5 simplifies to -14.5

4-7.5 simplifies to -3.5

so you get -3.5 = -14.5

step 2: add one side to the other to get a zero on one side

add 3.5 on both sides to get 0=-11

or

add 14.5 on both sides to get 11=0

step 3: evaluate the statement

since both -11 and 11 are not equal to 0, this statement is false

your answer would be b
