(2x^3/4) - (5x^1/3)/(5x)
--------------
Cancel where you can to get:
(x^(3/4))/2 - (1/x^(2/3))
--------------------------------
lcd = 2x^(2/3)
---------------------------------
Rewrite each fraction over the lcd:
---
[x^(2/3)*x^(3/4)]/lcd - 2/lcd
---
Combine the numerators over the lcd:
[x^(17/12) - 2]/2x^(2/3)
