Solve 1-11/10=31/2

$$1 - 1 \frac { 1 } { 10 } = 3 \frac { 1 } { 2 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 10, the least common multiple of 10,2.

$$10-\left(1\times 10+1\right)=5\left(3\times 2+1\right)$$

Multiply 1 and 10 to get 10.

$$10-\left(10+1\right)=5\left(3\times 2+1\right)$$

Add 10 and 1 to get 11.

$$10-11=5\left(3\times 2+1\right)$$

Subtract 11 from 10 to get -1.

$$-1=5\left(3\times 2+1\right)$$

Multiply 3 and 2 to get 6.

$$-1=5\left(6+1\right)$$

Add 6 and 1 to get 7.

$$-1=5\times 7$$

Multiply 5 and 7 to get 35.

$$-1=35$$

Compare -1 and 35.

$$\text{false}$$
