Answer

(2/7) - (4/5) = -(18/35)

Step-by-step explanation

We are asked to subtract fractions from each other.

The first step is to take the LCM of the denominators (7 and 5), which is 35

$\begin{gathered} (2)/(7)-(4)/(5) \\ =(10-28)/(35) \\ =(-18)/(35) \\ =-(18)/(35) \end{gathered}$

Hope this Helps!!!
