Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We can't subtract two fractions with different denominators. So you need to get a common denominator. To do this, you'll multiply the denominators times each other... but the numerators have to change, too. They get multiplied by the other term's denominator.

So we multiply 2 by 12, and get 24.

Then we multiply 5 by 3, and get 15.

Next we give both terms new denominators -- 3 × 12 = 36.

So now our fractions look like this:

24/36-15/36

Step 2

Since our denominators match, we can subtract the numerators.

24 − 15 = 9

So the answer is:

9/36
