2/5w + 10 - 3/2w - 4 First, we will multiply each term by the LCD, 10w, and this will give us a common denominator\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F5w%29%2810w%2F10w%29%2B10%2810w%2F10w%29-%283%2F2w%29%2810w%2F10w%29-4%2810w%2F10w%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "simplifying, we get:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"4%2F10w%2B100w%2F10w-15%2F10w-40w%2F10w\"$ Now we can re-write this as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%284%2B100w-15-40w%29%2F10w\"$ Next we collect like terms in numerator\r
