Solve 5(-3)+3/4+25/12=5+2(-3)/3

$$\frac { 5 ( - 3 ) + 3 } { 4 } + \frac { 25 } { 12 } = \frac { 5 + 2 ( - 3 ) } { 3 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 4,12,3.

$$3\left(5\left(-3\right)+3\right)+25=4\left(5+2\left(-3\right)\right)$$

Multiply 5 and -3 to get -15.

$$3\left(-15+3\right)+25=4\left(5+2\left(-3\right)\right)$$

Add -15 and 3 to get -12.

$$3\left(-12\right)+25=4\left(5+2\left(-3\right)\right)$$

Multiply 3 and -12 to get -36.

$$-36+25=4\left(5+2\left(-3\right)\right)$$

Add -36 and 25 to get -11.

$$-11=4\left(5+2\left(-3\right)\right)$$

Multiply 2 and -3 to get -6.

$$-11=4\left(5-6\right)$$

Subtract 6 from 5 to get -1.

$$-11=4\left(-1\right)$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$-11=-4$$

Compare -11 and -4.

$$\text{false}$$
