Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 56w4x−52
Identify Common Denominator: Identify the common denominator for the fractions. Since both fractions have the same denominator of 5, there is no need to find a least common multiple (LCM). The common denominator is already 5.
Combine Fractions: Combine the fractions by subtracting the numerators while keeping the common denominator. This gives us (6w4x−2)/5.
Check for Simplification: Check if the numerator can be simplified further. In this case, there are no common factors between 6w4x and 2, so the numerator cannot be simplified.
Write Final Answer: Write the final simplified expression. The final answer is (56w4x−2).
