Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Identify Common Denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions. Since the fractions 7q/3 and 2/r^5 have different denominators, we need to find a common denominator to combine them into a single fraction. The common denominator will be the product of the two denominators, which is 3 * r^5.Rewrite with Common Denominator: Rewrite each fraction with the common denominator. We will multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by r^5 to get the common denominator, and we will multiply the numerator and denominator of the second fraction by 3 to get the common denominator. (7q/3) * (r^5/r^5) - (2/r^5) * (3/3) = (7qr^5)/(3r^5) - (6)/(3r^5)Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions. Now that both fractions have the same denominator, we can combine them by subtracting the numerators and keeping the common denominator. (7qr^5 - 6)/(3r^5)Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression, if possible. In this case, the numerator cannot be simplified further because there are no common factors between 7qr^5 and 6. Therefore, the expression is already in its simplest form.
