Question

Verify the following and write the property used (5/4+-1/2) + -3/2 = 5/4 + (-1/2+-3/2) ​

Answer 1

Answer:

LHS RHS

(5/4-1/2)-3/2 5/4 + (-1/2-3/2)

(5/4-2/4)-3/2 5/4 + (-4/2)

3/4-3/2 5/4-4/2

3/4-6/4 5/4-8/4

-3/4 = -3/4

Hence, proved!

Property used is associative property under addition.

Hope it helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

5+(-2)/4 + -3/2 = 5/4+ -1(-3)/2

5-2/4 -3/2 = 5/4+ -1-3/2

3/4+-3/2 = 5/4 + -4/2

3 +(-3*2)/4= 5+(-8)/ 4

3-6/4 = 5-8/4

-3/4=-3/4
