HURRY UP
✂For a = 2/3 , b= 4/5 ,c =-5/6, verify that ,
(a+b)+c=a+(b+c)
(ab)c=a(bc)
a(b-c)=ab-ac

To add the brackets we need to find the LCM of the denominators, 3 - 5(15) and 5 - 6(30)
Again find the LCM of 15 - 6 and 3 - 30
LCM of 5 and 6 to add them = 30
LCM of 15 and 18 = 90
Given,
For a = 2/3 , b= 4/5 and c =-5/6.
There are 3 condition and we will prove them one by one=>
1)(a+b) +c = a+(b+c)
RHS
(a+b) + c
=>(2/3 + 4/5) - 5/6
=>{(10+12)/15} - 5/6
=>22/15 - 5/6
=>(44-25)/30
=>19/30.
LHS
a+(b+c)
=>2/3 + (4/5 - 5/6)
=>2/3 + {(24-25)/30}
=>2/3 - 1/30
=>19/30.
Hence LHS = RHS and proved.
2)(ab)c=a(bc)
RHS
ab(c)
=>(2/3 × 4/5)×(-5/6)
=>(8/15) × (-5/6)
=>-40/90
=>-4/9.
LHS
a(bc)
=>2/3 ×{4/5 ×(-5/6)}
=>2/3 × (-20/30)
=>-4/9.
Hence LHS=RHS and proved.
3)a(b-c)=ab-ac
LHS
a(b-c)
=>2/3(4/5 + 5/6)
=>2/3 {(24+25)/30}
=>2/3 × (49/30)
=>98/90
RHS
ab-ac
=>{2/3 × 4/5} + (2/3 × 5/6)
=>8/15 + 10/18
=>8/15 + 5/9
=>(50+48)/90
=>98/90.
Hence, LHS = RHS and hence proved.
