8+6/2=17-5

We can start by reducing the fraction using basic division.

Remember, numerator divided by denominator.

6 \ 2 = 3.

Rewrite the equation-

8+3=17-5

It doesn’t matter which side of the equal sign you start with, but in this case I started with the right hand.

8+3= 11

Rewrite-

11=17-5

Now subtract.


17-5=12

Write the equality.

11=12.

This is false.

11≠12.

In the given expression [8 + (6/2) = 17 - 5] LHS is not equal to RHS and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

Expression  -  8 + (6/2) = 17 - 5

The following steps can be used to determine the wrong part in the given expression:

Step 1 - Write the given expression.

8 + (6/2) = 17 - 5

Step 2 - First, simplify the left hand side (LHS) of the given expression then compare it with the RHS.

Step 3 - Write the LHS expression and then simplify it.

= 8 + (6/2)

Divide 6 by 2 in the above expression.

= 8 + 3

Now, add 8 and 3 in the above expression.

= 11

Step 4 - Now, write RHS and then simplify it.

= 17 - 5

Subtract 17 by 5 in the above expression.

= 12

Step 5 - Compare LHS and RHS of the given expression.

[tex]11\neq 12[/tex]

In the given expression LHS is not equal to RHS.
