Question 66195: Subtract and write in simplest form:
2 3
------- - --------
5w+10 2w-4
2-3 = -1
5w + 10 = 15w
2w - 4 = -2w
15w - -2w = 13w
Leaving the equation looking like:
-1
---
13w
Is this correct or did I mess it completely up? Thank you

2/(5W+10)-3/(2W-4) NOW FIND A COMMON DENOMINATOR (5W+10)(2W+4) & MULTIPLY
2(2W-4)-3(5W+10)/(5W+10)(2W-4)
(4W-8-15W-30)/10W^2+20W-20W-40)
(-11W-38)/(10W^2-40)
(-11W-38)/10(W^2-4)
(-11W-38)/10(W-2)(W+2)
