Question

4x-5 - 2x-1

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{5x - 8}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the LCM of the denominators and then solve:

$\frac{4x - 5}{2} - \frac{2x - 1}{6}$

$\frac{4x - 5}{2} - \frac{2x - 1}{6} \\\\\frac{3(4x - 5) - 2x - 1}{6} \\\\\frac{12x - 15 - 2x - 1}{6}\\\\\frac{10x - 16}{6}\\\\ \frac{2(5x - 8)}{2 * 3} \\\\ \frac{5x - 8}{3}$
