Question

What should be subtracted from the difference of 2/7 and 3/5 to get 5/8. Find the answer without taking variables

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 / 7 - 3 / 5) - x = 5 / 8

x = (2 / 7 - 3 / 5) - 5 / 8

x = (80 / 280 - 168 / 280) - 175 / 280

x = - 88 / 280 - 175 / 280

x = - 263 / 280
