Question 214772: 6. Simplify and write the expression (expand the operation to remove the fraction.
(2x^3/4) - (5x^1/3)/(5x) Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! (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)
