Answer: The reduced form of the given fraction is


(r-s)/(r+s).

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to reduce the following fraction to lowest terms:


F=(5r-5s)/(5r+5s)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

To reduce a fraction to its lowest terms, we need to find the common factors in both the numerator and denominator and they should be cancelled.

From equation (i), we get


F\\\\\\=(5r-5s)/(5r+5s)\\\\\\=(5(r-s))/(5(r+s))\\\\\\=(r-s)/(r+s).

Thus, the reduced form of the given fraction is


(r-s)/(r+s).
