Step-by-step explanation:

Taking LHS

$5\frac{2}{3} -3\frac{3}{4}= \frac{17}{3} -\frac{15}{4}$

$\frac{17}{3} -\frac{15}{4} = \frac{68-45}{12} = \frac{23}{12}$

now solving RHS

$1+\frac{2}{3}+\frac{3}{4}=\frac{12+8+9}{12}=\frac{29}{12}$

clearly, LHS≠ RHS

hence both quantities are different from each other.
