Let x be the number. With this representation, double this number is 2x and thrice is 3x. We are asked to give an expression for the difference (subtraction) of these numbers, the answer to this question should be,

Considering the least common multiple of the denominators, it is found that the result of the expression is given by:

$\frac{9100}{138320}$

<h3>How do we add fractions?</h3>

We place all the terms of the addition in "equivalent" fractions, with the same denominator, found from the last common multiple of all the denominators.

In this problem, the denominators are as follows: 28, 70, 130, 208, 304. Using a calculator, their lcm is of 138,320.

Considering equivalent fractions(the numerators are the division of the lcm by the previous denominator), the expression is:

$\frac{4940}{138320} + \frac{1976}{138320} + \frac{1064}{138320} + \frac{665}{138320} + \frac{455}{138320} = \frac{4940 + 1976 + 1064 + 665 + 455}{138320} = \frac{9100}{138320}$
