Question

How do you simplify `(8A-3)/5-(10A-12)/5`?

Answer 1

See the entire simplification process below:

Explanation:

First, because both fractions have a common denominator we can subtract the numerators:

`(8A - 3 - 10A + 12)/5`

Now we can group and combine the like terms in the numerator:

`(8A - 10A - 3 + 12)/5`

`((8 - 10)A + 9)/5`

`(-2A + 9)/5` or `(9 - 2A)/5`
