Verify

Solution Steps

Add -5 and 1 to get -4.

$$\frac{-4}{2-8}=\frac{-4}{-6}\text{ and }\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.

$$\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{-4}{-6}\text{ and }\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-4}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{-4}{-6}\text{ and }\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-4}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}\text{ and }\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Compare \frac{2}{3} and \frac{2}{3}.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{-4}{-6}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{-4}{-6} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out -2.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{3}$$

Compare \frac{2}{3} and \frac{2}{3}.

$$\text{true}\text{ and }\text{true}$$

The conjunction of \text{true} and \text{true} is \text{true}.

$$\text{true}$$
