Answer:
(5x-29)/(6)

Explanation:

To simplify the equation, we can just subtract the 2 fractions. First, we need to make sure they have a common denominator.


(2(x-7))/(6) -(3(5-x))/(6)

Now that the fractions have the same denominator, we can distribute the numerator and subtract.


(2x-14)/(6) -(15-3x)/(6) =(2x-14-15+3x)/(6) =(5x-29)/(6)
