    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).
