P:-3x + 8x - 5x = x

q: (3x)(5y) = 15xy

Which of the following statements is false?

Statement p is false.

Step-by-step explanation:

In both cases, we need to isolate the variables:

p: -3*x + 8*x - 5*x = x

   (-3*x - 5*x) + 8*x = x

    -8x + 8*x = x

        0 = x

This will be true only for one value of x, so this is not always true, which means that the statement is false.

q: (3*x)*(5*y) = 15*x*y

let's solve the left side:

  3*x*5*y = 15*x*y

  (3*5)*(x*y) = 15*x*y

   15*x*y = 15*x*y

This is true for every value of x and y, then this statement is true.
