Equal Sign & True/False Equations — Answer Key
Part A: Multiple Choice
Circle the best answer for each question.
1. Which of these is TRUE?
A) 5 + 2 = 8
B) 4 + 3 = 7
C) 6 + 1 = 8
D) 3 + 3 = 7
4 + 3 equals 7, so that equation is the true one.
2. Which of these is the ONLY false one?
A) 2 + 5 = 7
B) 3 + 4 = 7
C) 6 + 2 = 9
D) 4 + 4 = 8
6 + 2 is 8, not 9, so that equation is the false one.
3. Which of these is TRUE?
A) 5 + 5 = 9
B) 4 + 5 = 10
C) 6 + 3 = 9
D) 7 + 2 = 8
6 + 3 equals 9, so that one is true.
4. Which of these is the ONLY false one?
A) 8 = 5 + 3
B) 9 = 4 + 5
C) 10 = 7 + 3
D) 8 = 6 + 3
6 + 3 is 9, not 8, so that equation is false.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the correct answer on each line.
1. 7 = 4 + 3
4 + 3 is 7, so the blank is 4 for balance.
2. 5 + 5 = 8 + 2
Both sides equal 10 when the blank is 2.
3. 9 = 4 + 5
4 + 5 is 9, so the blank is 5 to balance.
4. 6 + 2 = 5 + 3
Both sides equal 8 when the blank is 5.
5. 10 = 7 + 3
7 + 3 is 10, making the equation true.
