Answer:


=(12w+15g-100)/(20)

Explanation:

Three-fifth of w is 3/5 of w


=(3)/(5) *w=(3)/(5) w

Three-fourths of g is three-quarters of g


=(3)/(4) *g=(3)/(4) g

find the sum of the fractions then subtract 5


=(3)/(5)w-(3)/(4) g-5\\\\\\=(3)/(5)w-(3)/(4)g-(5)/(1)

The LCM here is 20 i.e 5*4

=
(3)/(5) w+(3)/(4)g-(5)/(1)=(12w+15g-100)/(20) \\
