Question

5/x - 3/4 =
Simplify

Answer 1

`(20-3x)/(4x)`

Explanation:

-This is an LCM problem.

-To simplify, we introduce a least common multiplier which is equivalent the product of the denominators:

`LCM=x* 4\\\\=4x`

#We introduce the LCM and adjust the fractions based on it :

`=(5)/(x)+(3)/(4)\\\\\\=(20)/(4x)+(3x)/(4x)\\\\\\=(20-3x)/(4x)`

Hence, the simplified form of the fraction is:
`(20-3x)/(4x)`
