Solve 4(1/3)=3(2-4)/5

$$4 ( \frac { 1 } { 3 } ) = \frac { 3 ( 2 - 4 ) } { 5 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 15, the least common multiple of 3,5.

$$60\times \frac{1}{3}=3\times 3\left(2-4\right)$$

Multiply 60 and \frac{1}{3} to get \frac{60}{3}.

$$\frac{60}{3}=3\times 3\left(2-4\right)$$

Divide 60 by 3 to get 20.

$$20=3\times 3\left(2-4\right)$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$20=9\left(2-4\right)$$

Subtract 4 from 2 to get -2.

$$20=9\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply 9 and -2 to get -18.

$$20=-18$$

Compare 20 and -18.

$$\text{false}$$
