Solve 97/12-43/12=54/12

$$9 \frac { 7 } { 12 } - 4 \frac { 3 } { 12 } = 5 \frac { 4 } { 12 }$$

Verify

Solution Steps

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12.

$$9\times 12+7-\left(4\times 12+3\right)=5\times 12+4$$

Multiply 9 and 12 to get 108.

$$108+7-\left(4\times 12+3\right)=5\times 12+4$$

Add 108 and 7 to get 115.

$$115-\left(4\times 12+3\right)=5\times 12+4$$

Multiply 4 and 12 to get 48.

$$115-\left(48+3\right)=5\times 12+4$$

Add 48 and 3 to get 51.

$$115-51=5\times 12+4$$

Subtract 51 from 115 to get 64.

$$64=5\times 12+4$$

Multiply 5 and 12 to get 60.

$$64=60+4$$

Add 60 and 4 to get 64.

$$64=64$$

Compare 64 and 64.

$$\text{true}$$
