Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

Difference of the two expressions has been written as,


(3x)/(x^2-7x+10)-(2x)/(3(x-5))

To rewrite this expression as one expression,

First he factored the the denominators,


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

Then Juan will make the denominators of both the terms equal,

For which he will multiply the second expression by
(x-2)/(x-2).


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

Option C will be the correct option.
