Question

What would the answer be for this equation 7x/20 - 5x/12

Answer 1

`(1)/(15) x`

Explanation:

`(7x)/(20) - (5x)/(12)`

`(3 * 7x)/(3 * 20) - (5 * 5x)/(5 * 12)`

`(21x)/(60) - (25x)/(60)`

`(21x - 25x)/(60) = (21 - 25)x = - 4x`

`( - 4x)/(60) = - ( x)/(15)`

`\boxed{\green{= (1)/(15) x}}`
