Answer 1

To subtract (7)/(x)-(5)/(x+2), you need to find a common denominator. Combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators to get the simplified answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

To subtract the expressions (7)/(x)-(5)/(x+2), we need to have a common denominator. The common denominator for the expression is (x)*(x+2) or x(x+2). We can rewrite the fractions with a common denominator:

(7)/(x) - (5)/(x+2) = (7(x+2))/(x(x+2)) - (5x)/(x(x+2))

Now, we can combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators:

(7(x+2))/(x(x+2)) - (5x)/(x(x+2)) = (7x+14-5x)/(x(x+2)) = (2x+14)/(x(x+2))

This is the simplified answer for the subtraction of the two fractions.
