Subtract fractions with different denominators

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

A fraction consists of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom.
The top one is numerator, the bottom one is denominator, and
These two numbers are separated by a line.

Let us consider two different fractions with different denominators

$\frac{10}{15}$

$\frac{2}{5}$

Lets subtract the two fractions

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}\:\:\:\:$

$\mathrm{Cancel\:}\frac{10}{15}:\quad \frac{2}{3}$

$=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{2}{5}$

$\mathrm{Least\:Common\:Multiplier\:of\:}3,\:5:\quad 15$

$\mathrm{Adjust\:Fractions\:based\:on\:the\:LCM}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{3}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:5$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\cdot \:5}{3\cdot \:5}=\frac{10}{15}$

$\mathrm{For}\:\frac{2}{5}:\:\mathrm{multiply\:the\:denominator\:and\:numerator\:by\:}\:3$

$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{2\cdot \:3}{5\cdot \:3}=\frac{6}{15}$

so

$=\frac{10}{15}-\frac{6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Since\:the\:denominators\:are\:equal,\:combine\:the\:fractions}:\quad \frac{a}{c}\pm \frac{b}{c}=\frac{a\pm \:b}{c}$

$=\frac{10-6}{15}$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:the\:numbers:}\:10-6=4$

$=\frac{4}{15}$

Therefore,

$\frac{10}{15}-\frac{2}{5}=\frac{4}{15}$

I need help please explain how to do these two question as I did the rest of them. I just don't understand these.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

7. (4x +10)/(x^3 +3x^2 -16x -48)

9. -320/93

Step-by-step explanation:

7. As with adding any fractions, first you find a common denominator. When the fractions are rational expressions, it often helps to factor the denominators.

6/(x^2 -16) -2/(x^2 -x -12) = 6/((x -4)(x +4)) -2/((x -4)(x +3))

= (6(x +3) -2(x +4))/((x -4)(x +3)(x +4)) . . . . . using a common denominator

= (6x +18 -2x -8)/((x -4)(x +3)(x +4))

= (4x +10)/((x^2 -16)(x +3))

= (4x +10)/(x^3 +3x^2 -16x -48)

_____

9. First you simplify the denominator:

2/25 -5/16 = (2·16 -5·25)/(25·16) = -93/400

Then you perform the division. This can be done by multiplying by the inverse of the denominator.

(4/5)/(2/5 -5/16) = (4/5)·(-400/93) = -320/93
