Solve -4+1/3=-8-1/9--4+4/6

$$\frac { - 4 + 1 } { 3 } = \frac { - 8 - 1 } { 9 } - \frac { - 4 + 4 } { 6 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 18, the least common multiple of 3,9,6.

$$6\left(-4+1\right)=2\left(-8-1\right)-3\left(-4+4\right)$$

Add -4 and 1 to get -3.

$$6\left(-3\right)=2\left(-8-1\right)-3\left(-4+4\right)$$

Multiply 6 and -3 to get -18.

$$-18=2\left(-8-1\right)-3\left(-4+4\right)$$

Subtract 1 from -8 to get -9.

$$-18=2\left(-9\right)-3\left(-4+4\right)$$

Multiply 2 and -9 to get -18.

$$-18=-18-3\left(-4+4\right)$$

Add -4 and 4 to get 0.

$$-18=-18-3\times 0$$

Multiply -3 and 0 to get 0.

$$-18=-18+0$$

Add -18 and 0 to get -18.

$$-18=-18$$

Compare -18 and -18.

$$\text{true}$$
