Step 1

Given Data

The equation is 4+(10/5)=6-2

 

Consider the left-hand side of the given equation is,

 

Step 2

Consider the right-hand side of the given equation is,

 

 

From the above solution, the LHS is not equal to RHS. The LHS is higher than the RHS. So the 4 should be adding on RHS of the equation to make equal to LHS.

 

Hence, the given equation 4+(10/5)=6-2 is the wrong equation.
