Question

Is 3 + (x•y) = (3+x) • (3+y) a true statement? If so, explain your reasoning. If not, give a counterexample.

Answer 1

False it is not true

Answer 2

false

lets say x = 1 and y = 1

3 + (x * y) = (3 + x) * (3 + y)
3 + (1 * 1) = (3 + 1) * (3 + 1)
3 + 1 = 4 * 4
4 = 16....nope...not gonna work
