Question

Verify that a÷ (b+c) ≠ (a÷b) + (a÷c)


a = (-10) , b = 1, c = 1​

Answer 1

Given :

• a = -10
• b = 1
• c = 1

To verify :

We have to verify that a ÷ ( b + c ) ≠ ( a ÷ b ) + ( a ÷ c ) when the values are : a = -10, b = 1 and c = 1.

Solution :

We'll substitute and verify their relationship :

• a÷(b+c) ≠ (a÷b)+(a÷c)
• (-10)÷(1+1) ≠ [(-10)÷1]+[(-10)÷1]
• -10÷(2) ≠ (-10)+(-10)
• -5 ≠ -10-10
• -5 ≠ -20
• LHS ≠ RHS

Henceforth, verified!

Answer 2

Given :

a = -10

b = 1

c = 1

To verify :

We have to verify that a ÷ ( b + c ) ≠ ( a ÷ b ) + ( a ÷ c ) when the values are : a = -10, b = 1 and c = 1.

Solution :

We'll substitute and verify their relationship :

a÷(b+c) ≠ (a÷b)+(a÷c)

(-10)÷(1+1) ≠ [(-10)÷1]+[(-10)÷1]

-10÷(2) ≠ (-10)+(-10)

-5 ≠ -10-10

-5 ≠ -20

LHS ≠ RHS

Hence,verified!
