Answer:

The simplified form of the given expression
((2)/(5t)-(3)/(3t) )/((1)/(2t)+(1)/(2t))=-(3)/(5)

Explanation:

Given expression
((2)/(5t)-(3)/(3t) )/((1)/(2t)+(1)/(2t)  )

We have to simplify the given expression
((2)/(5t)-(3)/(3t) )/((1)/(2t)+(1)/(2t)  )

Consider the given expression
((2)/(5t)-(3)/(3t) )/((1)/(2t)+(1)/(2t)  )

Consider denominator
(1)/(2t)+(1)/(2t)

Apply rule,
(a)/(c)\pm (b)/(c)=(a\pm \:b)/(c)


=(1+1)/(2t)=(1)/(t)

Now, apply fraction rule,
(a)/((b)/(c))=(a\cdot \:c)/(b)

We get,


=(\left((2)/(5t)-(3)/(3t)\right)t)/(1)

Simplify, we get,


(t\left((2)/(5t)-(1)/(t)\right))/(1)

Simplify, we get,


(t\left((2)/(5t)-(1)/(t)\right))/(1)

Further simplify by
(-a)/(b)=-(a)/(b) \ and\  a\cdot (b)/(c)=(a\:\cdot \:b)/(c)

We get,
=-(3t)/(5t)

Thus,
-(3)/(5)
