Question

Evaluate and justify: 1. 22/17=37/47+88/83​

Answer 1

Answer:

We have to prove 22/17 = 37/47+88/83​

RHS:

37/47 + 88/83​

⇒ ( 3071 + 4136 ) / 3901 [ 3901 is the lcm of 47 and 83 ]

⇒ 7207 / 3901  

7207 is a prime number. So, it is not divisible by other numbers except 1 and 7207. And 3901 is divisible by only divisible by 47 and 83.

So, it is clear that 7207/3901  is not equal to 22/17 ( LHS ≠ RHS )

That means the equation is false.
