Adding or subtracting will change the original number by the same amount.
Is this true or false?
This statement is false. Adding or subtracting a number will change the original number by a different amount depending on whether you are adding or subtracting.
To demonstrate this, let's consider an example:
Original number: 10
If we add 5 to the original number (10 + 5), the result is 15. The original number has increased by 5.
If we subtract 5 from the original number (10 - 5), the result is 5. The original number has decreased by 5.
Therefore, adding or subtracting will not change the original number by the same amount.
