Answer:
The equality is true
Explanation:
x+(y+z)=(x+y)+z
x+(y+z)=(x+y)+zwhen we plug in -4/15 for x,-4/5 for y
x+(y+z)=(x+y)+zwhen we plug in -4/15 for x,-4/5 for yand 17/8 for z,we get
x+(y+z)=(x+y)+zwhen we plug in -4/15 for x,-4/5 for yand 17/8 for z,we get-4/15+(-4/5+17/8)=(-4/15+-4/5)+17/8
x+(y+z)=(x+y)+zwhen we plug in -4/15 for x,-4/5 for yand 17/8 for z,we get-4/15+(-4/5+17/8)=(-4/15+-4/5)+17/817/24=17/24
x+(y+z)=(x+y)+zwhen we plug in -4/15 for x,-4/5 for yand 17/8 for z,we get-4/15+(-4/5+17/8)=(-4/15+-4/5)+17/817/24=17/24so this equality is true
