Question

Verify commutative property of addition for the following pairs of rational numbers -2/-5 and 1/3​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a=-2/-5 and b=1/3

Commutative property of addition,

(a+b)=(b+a)

$\frac{ - 2}{ - 5} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{ - 2}{ - 5} \\ \frac{ - 6 + 5}{ - 15} = \frac{5 +( -6)}{ - 15} \\ \frac{ - 1}{ - 15} = \frac{5 - 6}{ - 15 } \\ \frac{1}{15} = \frac{ - 1}{ - 15} \\ \frac{1}{15} = \frac{1}{15}$

HENCE VERIFIED!
