You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Language is important. You didn't say what the problem is. Just
writing down the equation doesn't make it a
problem. I can guess, but you need to be exact
about it.
I'm guessing you want to simplify it.
5r+-+5s%2F5r+%2B+5s
The middle term has a 5 on top and bottom.
Rewrite it like this:
5r+-+%285%2F5%29%2A%28s%2Fr%29+%2B+5s Note that 5%2F5+=+1
5r+-+s%2Fr+%2B+5s
5%2A%28r%2Bs%29+-+s%2Fr
