Solve 8+52/3+12-42/3=4+2/3+18-32/3

$$8 + 5 \frac { 2 } { 3 } + 12 - 4 \frac { 2 } { 3 } = 4 + \frac { 2 } { 3 } + 18 - 3 \frac { 2 } { 3 }$$

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 3.

$$24+5\times 3+2+36-\left(4\times 3+2\right)=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Multiply 5 and 3 to get 15.

$$24+15+2+36-\left(4\times 3+2\right)=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Add 24 and 15 to get 39.

$$39+2+36-\left(4\times 3+2\right)=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Add 39 and 2 to get 41.

$$41+36-\left(4\times 3+2\right)=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Add 41 and 36 to get 77.

$$77-\left(4\times 3+2\right)=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Multiply 4 and 3 to get 12.

$$77-\left(12+2\right)=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Add 12 and 2 to get 14.

$$77-14=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Subtract 14 from 77 to get 63.

$$63=12+2+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Add 12 and 2 to get 14.

$$63=14+54-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Add 14 and 54 to get 68.

$$63=68-\left(3\times 3+2\right)$$

Multiply 3 and 3 to get 9.

$$63=68-\left(9+2\right)$$

Add 9 and 2 to get 11.

$$63=68-11$$

Subtract 11 from 68 to get 57.

$$63=57$$

Compare 63 and 57.
