Question

Verify the property x+y = y+x of the rational number by taking x = 1/2 y=5/6.
with full process​

Answer 1

verify x + y = y + x

where x = 1/2; y = 5/6

1/2 + 5/6 = 5/6 + 1/2

[ make the denominators equal by taking the LCM ]

therefore, we get-

3 /6  +  5 /6 = 5 /6 + 3 /6

3 + 5/6 = 5 + 3/6

8/6 = 8/6

[ simplify ]

4/3 = 4/3

∴ LHS = RHS
