Question 6665: Original Rational Equation Sides and Defect

Original question and givens

Use the original equation’s common rational domain. L(x)=((2)x+(15))/(3), R(x)=(1)x+(-14), q≠0, x=15/2. Give (L, R, L−R, does the original equation hold?). Use exact reduced fractions with positive denominators, retaining /1 for integers.

Definition and scope

Use the original question domain, assumptions and cited MKO definitions. This item has second-context mathematical and bilingual review, with the model, answer and every arithmetic step independently recomputed from the original parameters; the source question remains a candidate.

Step-by-step derivation

common rational domain with original equation definitions

evaluate/classify the given model without enlarging its original domain

original left numerator linear product := mul(2, 15/2)

original left numerator linear product = 15

original left numerator affine value := sum(15, 15)

original left numerator affine value = 30

original right linear product := mul(1, 15/2)

original right linear product = 15/2

original right affine value := sum(15/2, -14)

original right affine value = -13/2

original left quotient := div(30, 3)

original left quotient = 10

original two-side residual := sub(10, -13/2)

original two-side residual = 33/2

q=3≠0;x=15/2;L−R=33/2

original equation at this x=No

Reverse checks

• S008 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.
• S007 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original two-side residual with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S006 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original left quotient with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S005 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original right affine value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S004 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original right linear product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S003 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original left numerator affine value with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S002 · premise_and_result_audit — Recompute original left numerator linear product with exact rational arithmetic, not rounded decimals.
• S001 · premise_and_result_audit — Check against the original data and this step's premises; a one-way implication is not an equivalence.

Result

(10/1, -13/2, 33/2, No)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
