Jessica · Answer 1

(2 x) / 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the following:

(4 x) / 5 - (2 x) / 3

Put each term in (4 x) / 5 - (2 x) / 3 over the common denominator 15: (4 x) / 5 - (2 x) / 3 = (12 x) / 15 - (10 x) / 15:

(12 x) / 15 - (10 x) / 15

(12 x) / 15 - (10 x) / 15 = (12 x - 10 x) / 15:

(12 x - 10 x) / 15

12 x - 10 x = 2 x:

Answer: (2 x) / 15
