Answer:
s
Whenever we do addition or subtraction with fractions, we must have a common denominator.
The easiest way to achieve a common denominator is to multiply the top and bottom of the first by
7
, and the top and bottom of the second by
5
. We get
4
5
(
7
7
)
−
4
7
(
5
5
)
Notice, we are not changing the value since we are essentially multiplying by
1
. We now have
28
35
−
20
35
Now that we have common denominators, we can just subtract the numerators. We'll get
8
35
Since the numerator and denominator have no common factors, this fraction is in simplest form.
Hope this helps!
