\frac{8}{3}-5mx=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}

- This question is based on the fundamental concept of adding and subtracting fractions. I'll rewrite the question to see if this helps.

\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5mx}{1}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}

- As you can see, every value in this equation is technically a fraction, but whenever a fraction has a denominator of 1, it will often be shown without the denominator. With this idea in mind, let me introduce a new concept.

\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5mx}{1}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\\frac{8-5mx}{3-1}\neq\frac{15mx-8}{-3}

- You cannot just subtract these two fractions' numerators and denominators together, you first need a <em>common denominator</em>. We do this by taking our fraction \frac{5mx}{1}, and multiplying it by the fraction \frac{3}{3} (\frac{3}{3} is the same as 1 so it doesn't affect the equation to multiply by this fraction), then subtracting the two equations.

  • We use the fraction \frac{3}{3} because once multiplying \frac{5mx}{1} by it, it will have a denominator the same as \frac{8}{3}.
  • Remember that adding and subtracting fractions does not affect the denominator, that stays the same; it is the numerator that changes with addition and subtraction.
  • ex.) \frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}=\frac{a+b}{c}
  • multiplying and dividing fractions affects both the numerator and denominator of each, and they can be multiplied or divided without worrying about having a common denominator.
  • ex.) \frac{a}{b} × \frac{c}{d}=\frac{ac}{bd}

\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5mx}{1}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\\frac{8}{3}-\frac{5mx}{1}(\frac{3}{3})=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\\frac{8}{3}-\frac{(3)5mx}{(3)1}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\\frac{8}{3}-\frac{15mx}{3}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}

- Now that we have a common denominator, we can subtract these two fractions without worry.

\frac{8}{3}-\frac{15mx}{3}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\\frac{-15mx+8}{3}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\(\frac{-1}{-1})\frac{-15mx+8}{3}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}

- I applied the same concept as multiplying \frac{5mx}{1} by \frac{3}{3} because \frac{3}{3} won't affect the equation because it equals 1. \frac{-1}{-1} is the same as 1, so by multiplying our fraction by this number, we aren't changing the fraction, just simplifying it really.

(\frac{-1}{-1})\frac{-15mx+8}{3}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}\\\frac{15mx-8}{-3}=\frac{15mx-8}{-3}
