10x/(5x+3)-(0x-6)/(5x+3)=(10x+)/(5x+3)
Transcript text: Simplify and reduce to a fraction
\[
\frac{10 x}{5 x+3}-\frac{0 x-6}{5 x+3}=\frac{10 x+}{5 x+3}
\]
Solution
Solution Steps
To simplify and reduce the given expression to a fraction, we need to combine the fractions by finding a common denominator and then simplifying the resulting expression.
Solution Approach
Identify the common denominator for the fractions.
Combine the numerators over the common denominator.
Simplify the resulting expression.
Step 1: Identify the Common Denominator
The common denominator for the fractions \(\frac{10x}{5x+3}\) and \(\frac{-6}{5x+3}\) is \(5x + 3\).
Step 2: Combine the Numerators
Combine the numerators over the common denominator:
\[
\frac{10x}{5x+3} - \frac{-6}{5x+3} = \frac{10x + 6}{5x+3}
\]
Notice that the numerator \(10x + 6\) and the denominator \(5x + 3\) do not have any common factors other than 1. Therefore, the fraction cannot be simplified further.
