Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. We are given the equation . . We are assuming that the operations in the equation follow the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS).
STEP 2
First, we need to simplify the right side of the equation. According to the order of operations, we should perform the operation inside the parentheses first.
STEP 3
Next, we multiply the two fractions on the right side of the equation.
STEP 4
Now, we simplify the left side of the equation. To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of8 and3 is24.
STEP 5
Now, we add the two fractions on the left side of the equation.
STEP 6
Finally, we compare the simplified left side and right side of the equation.
This equation is not true, so the original equation is not correct.
