Solve 2+4/3+2-1/2=12+4/4

$$\frac{ 2+4 }{ 3 } + \frac{ 2-1 }{ 2 } = 1 \frac{ 2+4 }{ 4 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12, the least common multiple of 3,2,4.

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

Add 2 and 4 to get 6.

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

Multiply 4 and 6 to get 24.

$$24+6\left(2-1\right)=3\left(2+4\right)$$

Subtract 1 from 2 to get 1.

$$24+6\times 1=3\left(2+4\right)$$

Multiply 6 and 1 to get 6.

$$24+6=3\left(2+4\right)$$

Add 24 and 6 to get 30.

$$30=3\left(2+4\right)$$

Add 2 and 4 to get 6.

$$30=3\times 6$$

Multiply 3 and 6 to get 18.

$$30=18$$

Compare 30 and 18.

$$\text{false}$$
