Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. 59c4−32c
Find LCM of denominators: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators 5 and 3. The LCM is 15.
Make denominators the same: Make the denominators the same by multiplying the first fraction by 3 and the second fraction by 5. This gives us (9c4×3)/15−(2c×5)/15.
Perform multiplication in numerators: Perform the multiplication in the numerators. This results in (1527c4)−(1510c).
Simplify the expression: Simplify the expression by subtracting the numerators since the denominators are the same. The final expression is (27c4−10c)/15.
