Simplify 6-w/w-3 x 3w-7/3-w
You said subtract so assume the problem is:
%28%286-w%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29 - %28%283w-7%29%29%2F%28%283-w%29%29
:
We can factor out -1 from the 2nd denominator, we have
%28%286-w%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29 - %28%283w-7%29%29%2F%28-1%28w-3%29%29
Which is
%28%286-w%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29 - %28-%283w-7%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29; Both denominators are the same
Minus a minus is a plus
%28%286-w%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29 + %28%283w-7%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29 = %28%286-w%2B3w-7%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29 = %28%282w-1%29%29%2F%28%28w-3%29%29
