Answer:
This is a False equation
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the common denominator, expand the fraction by the other denominator.
17x5/10x5 = 12x10/5x10
Multiply the numbers
85/10x5 = 12x10/5x10 -------------> 85/50 = 12x10/5x10 -->
85/50= 120/5x10 ---> 85/50=120/50
WHen comparing fractions with like denominators, compare numerators
85/50= 120/50 ----> 85+120
The equality is false because the left and right side are different
