3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution with Steps

3/4−2/5=?

The fractions have unlike denominators. First, find the Least Common Denominator and rewrite the fractions with the common denominator.

LCD(3/4, 2/5) = 20

Multiply both the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the number that makes its denominator equal the LCD. This is basically multiplying each fraction by 1.

(3/4×5/5)−(2/5×4/4)=?

Complete the multiplication and the equation becomes

15/20−8/20=?

The two fractions now have like denominators so you can subtract the numerators.

Then:

15−8/20=7/20

This fraction cannot be reduced.

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Solution by Formulas

Apply the fractions formula for subtraction, to

3/4−2/5

and solve

(3×5)−(2×4)/4×5

=15−8/20

=7/20

Therefore:

3/4−2/5=7/20

Steps:
1. calculate the values of y at x=0,1,2. using y=5-x^2
2. calculate the areas of trapezoids (Bottom+Top)/2*height
3. add the areas.

1. 
x=0, y=5-0^2=5
x=1, y=5-1^2=4
x=2, y=5-2^2=1
2. 
Area of trapezoid 1 = (5+4)/2*1=4.5
Area of trapezoid 2 = (4+1)/2*1=2.5

Total area of both trapezoids = (4.5+2.5) = 7

Exact area by integration:
integral of (5-x^2)dx   from 0 to 2
=[5x-x^3/3] from 0 to 2
=[5(2-0)-(2^3-0^3)/3]
=10-8/3
=22/3
=7 1/3, slight greater than the estimation by trapezoids.
