Verify

Solution Steps

Add 2 and 8 to get 10.

$$\frac{3}{4}\times 10=\frac{1}{5}\left(2-12\right)$$

Express \frac{3}{4}\times 10 as a single fraction.

$$\frac{3\times 10}{4}=\frac{1}{5}\left(2-12\right)$$

Multiply 3 and 10 to get 30.

$$\frac{30}{4}=\frac{1}{5}\left(2-12\right)$$

Reduce the fraction \frac{30}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.

$$\frac{15}{2}=\frac{1}{5}\left(2-12\right)$$

Subtract 12 from 2 to get -10.

$$\frac{15}{2}=\frac{1}{5}\left(-10\right)$$

Multiply \frac{1}{5} and -10 to get \frac{-10}{5}.

$$\frac{15}{2}=\frac{-10}{5}$$

Divide -10 by 5 to get -2.

$$\frac{15}{2}=-2$$

Convert -2 to fraction -\frac{4}{2}.

$$\frac{15}{2}=-\frac{4}{2}$$

Compare \frac{15}{2} and -\frac{4}{2}.

$$\text{false}$$
