You asked:

Investigate the equation: \(\frac{2}{3 \cdot \frac{-1}{5}} - \frac{1}{2 \cdot \frac{-1}{5}} = \frac{-1}{5} + \frac{1}{6}\).

MathBot Answer:

This equation has no unknown quantities, so it is either true or false.

This equation is false because the left-hand side is not equal to the right-hand side.

The left-hand side of the equation is:

\[\frac{2}{3 \cdot \frac{-1}{5}} - \frac{1}{2 \cdot \frac{-1}{5}} = - \frac{5}{6}\]

The right-hand side of the equation is:

\[\frac{-1}{5} + \frac{1}{6} = - \frac{1}{30}\]
