Solve 43/10+23/14=4

$$4 \frac { 3 } { 10 } + 2 \frac { 3 } { 14 } = 4$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 70, the least common multiple of 10,14.

$$7\left(4\times 10+3\right)+5\left(2\times 14+3\right)=280$$

Multiply 4 and 10 to get 40.

$$7\left(40+3\right)+5\left(2\times 14+3\right)=280$$

Add 40 and 3 to get 43.

$$7\times 43+5\left(2\times 14+3\right)=280$$

Multiply 7 and 43 to get 301.

$$301+5\left(2\times 14+3\right)=280$$

Multiply 2 and 14 to get 28.

$$301+5\left(28+3\right)=280$$

Add 28 and 3 to get 31.

$$301+5\times 31=280$$

Multiply 5 and 31 to get 155.

$$301+155=280$$

Add 301 and 155 to get 456.

$$456=280$$

Compare 456 and 280.

$$\text{false}$$
