Answer:

2

Explanation:

Write the equation


(3x-y)/(3(x-y))

Add the variables


(3(5)-3)/(3(5-3))

Multiply 3 x 5


(15-3)/(3(5-3))

Subtract the parentheses


(15-3)/(3(2))

Subtract the numerator


(12)/(3(2))

Reduce the fraction with 3


(12)/(3(2)) = (4)/(2)

Reduce the fraction again with 2


(4)/(2) = 2

And there's your answer of 2!
