I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the answer, 10/7, which is listed in the answer key of some practice problems. Could anyone explain how to get that answer? I believe you should multiple everything by the LCD, 30 but I'm lost past that


(a)/(3) - (a)/(10) = (1)/(3)

(3a)/(30) =
(10)/(30) it should equal
(7a)/(30) =
