Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Write down the given equation.

    The equation is:

    −57+75+(−32)=75+(−32)+(−57)-\frac{5}{7} + \frac{7}{5} + \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) = \frac{7}{5} + \left(-\frac{3}{2}\right) + \left(-\frac{5}{7}\right)

    Simplify the signs:

    −57+75−32=75−32−57-\frac{5}{7} + \frac{7}{5} - \frac{3}{2} = \frac{7}{5} - \frac{3}{2} - \frac{5}{7}
  2. Evaluate the Left Hand Side (LHS).

    To add and subtract fractions, find a common denominator. The denominators are 7, 5, and 2. The least common multiple (LCM) of 7, 5, and 2 is 7×5×2=707 \times 5 \times 2 = 70.
    Convert each fraction to have a denominator of 70:

    −57=−5×107×10=−5070-\frac{5}{7} = -\frac{5 \times 10}{7 \times 10} = -\frac{50}{70} 75=7×145×14=9870\frac{7}{5} = \frac{7 \times 14}{5 \times 14} = \frac{98}{70} −32=−3×352×35=−10570-\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{3 \times 35}{2 \times 35} = -\frac{105}{70}

    Now, add these fractions:

    −5070+9870−10570=−50+98−10570-\frac{50}{70} + \frac{98}{70} - \frac{105}{70} = \frac{-50 + 98 - 105}{70} 48−10570=−5770\frac{48 - 105}{70} = \frac{-57}{70}

    So, LHS =−5770= -\frac{57}{70}.

  3. Evaluate the Right Hand Side (RHS).

    Using the same common denominator (70) for the fractions on the RHS:

    75=9870\frac{7}{5} = \frac{98}{70} −32=−10570-\frac{3}{2} = -\frac{105}{70} −57=−5070-\frac{5}{7} = -\frac{50}{70}

    Now, add these fractions:

    9870−10570−5070=98−105−5070\frac{98}{70} - \frac{105}{70} - \frac{50}{70} = \frac{98 - 105 - 50}{70} −7−5070=−5770\frac{-7 - 50}{70} = \frac{-57}{70}

    So, RHS =−5770= -\frac{57}{70}.

  4. Compare LHS and RHS.

    Since LHS =−5770= -\frac{57}{70} and RHS =−5770= -\frac{57}{70}, both sides are equal.
    Therefore, the given equation is true.

    The equation is true.

    −5770=−5770\boxed{-\frac{57}{70} = -\frac{57}{70}}
