Answer 1

Answer:

$( \frac{ - 5}{3} + \frac{3}{5}) + \frac{ - 5}{8} = \frac{ - 5}{3} + (\frac{3}{5} + \frac{ - 5}{8} ) \\ = ( \frac{ - 25 + 9}{15}) + \frac{ - 5}{8} = \frac{ - 5}{3} + ( \frac{24 - 25}{40} ) \\ = > \frac{ - 16}{15} + \frac{ - 5}{8} = \frac{ - 5}{3} + \frac{ - 1}{40} \\ = > \frac{ - 128 - 75}{120} = \frac{ - 200 - 3}{120} \\ = > \frac{ - 203}{120} = \frac{ - 203}{120}$

Therefore,

(-5/3+3/5)+-5/8 = -5/3+(3/5+-5/8) is verified
