Question

$$2 \times -1-4/3=3 \times -1-1/2$$

Verify

$\text{false}$

Solution Steps

Multiply $2$ and $-1$ to get $-2$.

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

Convert $-2$ to fraction $-\frac{6}{3}$.

$$-\frac{6}{3}-\frac{4}{3}=3\left(-1\right)-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since $-\frac{6}{3}$ and $\frac{4}{3}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{-6-4}{3}=3\left(-1\right)-\frac{1}{2}$$

Subtract $4$ from $-6$ to get $-10$.

$$-\frac{10}{3}=3\left(-1\right)-\frac{1}{2}$$

Multiply $3$ and $-1$ to get $-3$.

$$-\frac{10}{3}=-3-\frac{1}{2}$$

Convert $-3$ to fraction $-\frac{6}{2}$.

$$-\frac{10}{3}=-\frac{6}{2}-\frac{1}{2}$$

Since $-\frac{6}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$-\frac{10}{3}=\frac{-6-1}{2}$$

Subtract $1$ from $-6$ to get $-7$.

$$-\frac{10}{3}=-\frac{7}{2}$$

Least common multiple of $3$ and $2$ is $6$. Convert $-\frac{10}{3}$ and $-\frac{7}{2}$ to fractions with denominator $6$.

$$-\frac{20}{6}=-\frac{21}{6}$$

Compare $-\frac{20}{6}$ and $-\frac{21}{6}$.

$$\text{false}$$
