8 + 1/3 = 24/3 + 1/3 + 25/3

1 answer

To solve the equation \( 8 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \), let's simplify both sides.

Starting with the left side:

\[ 8 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{24 + 1}{3} = \frac{25}{3} \] So the left side simplifies to:

\[ 8 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{25}{3} \]

Next, we'll simplify the right side:

\[ \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{25}{3} = \frac{24 + 1 + 25}{3} = \frac{50}{3} \]

Now we compare both sides:

Left side: \(\frac{25}{3}\)

Right side: \(\frac{50}{3}\)

Since \(\frac{25}{3} \neq \frac{50}{3}\), the equation \( 8 + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{24}{3} + \frac{1}{3} + \frac{25}{3} \) is not true.

Thus, the equation is incorrect.
