does 2/1 = 8/1
You asked:
Prove or disprove that the equation $\frac{2}{1} = \frac{8}{1}$ is an identity.
MathBot Answer:
The left-hand side of the equation evaluates to:
\[\begin{align*}& \frac{2}{1}\\=& 2 \cdot 1\\=& 2\\\end{align*}\]The right-hand side of the equation evaluates to:
\[\begin{align*}& \frac{8}{1}\\=& 8 \cdot 1\\=& 8\\\end{align*}\]Since $2 \ne 8$, the equation $\frac{2}{1} = \frac{8}{1}$ is not an identity.
