Hey mate here's your answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Your question can be translated into the following equation: 5/7 - x = 3/11.
Add x to both sides of the equation: 5/7 - x + x = 3/11 + x
Subtract 3/11 from both sides of the equation: 5/7 - 3/11 = 3/11 - 3/11 + x
x = 5/7 - 3/11
Find the least common multiple of 7 and 11, which is 77.
Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of each fraction by the same number to get the number 77 in the denominator 5/7 = 55/77 and 3/11 = 21/77.
Find x: x = 55/77 - 21/77 = 34/77. So 34/77 is the answer.
