Solve 0-3(-12/5)=5

$$0 - 3 ( - 1 \frac { 2 } { 5 } ) = 5$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 5.

$$0-15\left(-\frac{1\times 5+2}{5}\right)=25$$

Multiply 1 and 5 to get 5.

$$0-15\left(-\frac{5+2}{5}\right)=25$$

Add 5 and 2 to get 7.

$$0-15\left(-\frac{7}{5}\right)=25$$

Express 15\left(-\frac{7}{5}\right) as a single fraction.

$$0-\frac{15\left(-7\right)}{5}=25$$

Multiply 15 and -7 to get -105.

$$0-\frac{-105}{5}=25$$

Divide -105 by 5 to get -21.

$$0-\left(-21\right)=25$$

The opposite of -21 is 21.

$$0+21=25$$

Add 0 and 21 to get 21.

$$21=25$$

Compare 21 and 25.
