2 3
___________ - ________
5w + 10 2w – 4

Since the denominators are not the same, we will find LCD (least common denominator)= (5w + 10)(2w - 4)

2 (5w + 10)(2w - 4) 3 (5w + 10)(2w - 4)
___________ * _________________ - ________ * ___________________
5w + 10 (5w + 10)(2w - 4) 2w – 4 (5w + 10)(2w - 4)



2 ( 2w - 4) 3(5w + 10)
___________________ - ___________________
(5w + 10)(2w - 4) (5w + 10)(2w - 4)



4w - 8 15w + 30
___________________ - ___________________
(5w + 10)(2w - 4) (5w + 10)(2w - 4)



4w - 8 - (15w + 30)
______________________
(5w + 10)(2w - 4)



4w - 8 - 15w - 30)
______________________
(5w + 10)(2w - 4)



-11w - 38
_______________________
(5w + 10)(2w - 4)
