Identify common denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions. Since both fractions have the same denominator q, there is no need to find the least common multiple (LCM). The common denominator is q.
Combine fractions by subtraction: Combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators. The expression becomes (3−3q5r)/q.
Final simplified expression: Since there are no like terms in the numerator, the expression is already simplified. The final simplified expression is (3−3q5r)/q.
