Question

Verify 18×(7×(-3)=18×7+18×(-3)

Is LHS= RHS ?​

Answer 1

$18*(7*(-3))=18*7+18*(-3)\\18*-21=126 - 54\\-378 \neq 72$

LHS $\neq$ RHS

Answer 2

Answer :

To verify an equation, we need to see if the LHS = RHS.

Equation $\downarrow$

$18\times(7\times(-3))=18\times7+18\times(-3)$

Let's solve the left hand side (LHS) first.

$18\times(7\times(-3))\\= 18 \times (-21)\\=\underline{ -378}$

Now, let's solve the right hand side (RHS).

$18\times7+18\times(-3)\\= 126 - 54\\=\underline {72}$

But,

$\boxed{-378 \neq 72}$

We can see that the LHS doesn't match or isn't equal to the RHS.

Hence, we can say that LHS $\neq$ RHS & the  equation is NOT true.
