Question

The expression 4x/5-2x/3 is equivalent to what?

Answer 1

(2 x)/15

Explanation:

Simplify the following:

(4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3

Put each term in (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x)/5 - (2 x)/3 = (12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15:

(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15

(12 x)/15 - (10 x)/15 = (12 x - 10 x)/15:

(12 x - 10 x)/15

12 x - 10 x = 2 x:

Answer: (2 x)/15
