Is the following true or false? b + c <> (d + e) * 4 where b = 4, c 20, d = 4 and e = 17 

well, is 4+20 <> (4+17)*4 ?

Looks true to me.

To determine if the statement "b + c <> (d + e) * 4" is true or false, we need to substitute the given values for the variables and evaluate the expression.

First, substitute the values:
b = 4
c = 20
d = 4
e = 17

Now, let's evaluate the expression "b + c <> (d + e) * 4":
4 + 20 <> (4 + 17) * 4

Simplifying further:
24 <> 21 * 4

Calculating both sides:
24 <> 84

Since 24 is not equal to 84, the statement "b + c <> (d + e) * 4" is true.
