You asked:

Investigate the equation: \(8 + 17 + 18 = 18 + 17 + 18\).

MathBot Answer:

This equation has no unknown quantities, so it is either true or false.

This equation is false because the left-hand side is not equal to the right-hand side.

The left-hand side of the equation is:

\[8 + 17 + 18 = 43\]

The right-hand side of the equation is:

\[18 + 17 + 18 = 53\]
