Question

$$\frac{12}{5+5}+(5-5)=3$$

Verify

$\text{false}$

Solution Steps

Add $5$ and $5$ to get $10$.

$$\frac{12}{10}+5-5=3$$

Reduce the fraction $\frac{12}{10}$ to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out $2$.

$$\frac{6}{5}+5-5=3$$

Convert $5$ to fraction $\frac{25}{5}$.

$$\frac{6}{5}+\frac{25}{5}-5=3$$

Since $\frac{6}{5}$ and $\frac{25}{5}$ have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{6+25}{5}-5=3$$

Add $6$ and $25$ to get $31$.

$$\frac{31}{5}-5=3$$

Convert $5$ to fraction $\frac{25}{5}$.

$$\frac{31}{5}-\frac{25}{5}=3$$

Since $\frac{31}{5}$ and $\frac{25}{5}$ have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{31-25}{5}=3$$

Subtract $25$ from $31$ to get $6$.

$$\frac{6}{5}=3$$

Convert $3$ to fraction $\frac{15}{5}$.

$$\frac{6}{5}=\frac{15}{5}$$

Compare $\frac{6}{5}$ and $\frac{15}{5}$.

$$\text{false}$$
