Question 86003: I was supposed to subtract and express my answer in simplest form. 5x-3/6 - x+3/6........My answer is 4x-1 Am I right?
Answer by tutor_paul(519) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Since these fractions have the same denominator, you can subtract them. Just watch your signs! 5x-x=4x, and -3-3=-6. So you get:

Notice that you can reduce this if you factor a 2 out of the numerator:

Now, cancel out the 2 with the 6 in the denominator (leaving 3 down there).

good luck,
