I'm gonna go on a limb and say u meant:
%283x%2F20%29-%2817x%2F20%29
since they have the same denominator it can also look like this:
%283x-17x%29%2F20%29
now simple add the like terms 3-17=-14
%28-14x%29%2F20%29
14 and 20 are both even numbers so they are both divisible by 2 so divide 2 from 14 and 20
