You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you had to do the problem 1/2 - 1/3 you would need to find a common denominator. The easiest way is to do 2 x 3 = 6. This approach doesn't guarantee the Lowest common denominator but it always gives a common denominator.
In this example
Factorise the bottom numbers as much as possible.
A common denominator is found by multiplying 5 x (w+2) x 2 x (w-2)
