Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{17-4a}{2a-5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

((5)/(a-3)-4)/(2+(1)/(a-3))

=  $\frac{\frac{5}{a-3} - 4}{2 + \frac{1}{a-3} }$

Write the numerator and denominator with a common denominator

$\frac{\frac{5 - 4(a-3)}{a-3}}{\frac{2(a-3) + 1}{a-3} } \\ \\\frac{\frac{17 - 4a}{a-3}}{\frac{2a-5}{a-3} }$

Then divide the numerator by the denominator. To do this, multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator

= $\frac{17-4a}{a-3} \times \frac{a-3}{2a-5}  \\ \\= \frac{17-4a}{2a-5}$
