      Either, depending on which way you look at it. Drunk or Sober.

        this makes them false.


        the answer I got was:


        22.34314575 = 33.9411255


        this is clearly false.


        your original equation is:


        28 - 4*sqrt(2) = 24*sqrt(2)


        add 4*sqrt(2) to both sides of the equation to get:


        28 = 24*sqrt(2) + 4*sqrt(2)


        factor out the sqrt(2) on the right side of the equation to get:


        28 = (24 + 4) * sqrt(2) = 28 * sqrt(2)


        28 clearly does not equal to 28 * sqrt(2).
