Simplify x-11/2-x-3/5

Answer 1

To simplify this expression, we need to find a common denominator for the two fractions:

x - 11/2 - x - 3/5

To find a common denominator, we need to multiply the denominators of the two fractions together:

2 × 5 = 10

So the common denominator is 10. Next, we need to rewrite the fractions with a denominator of 10:

x - (11/2) × (5/5) - x - (3/5) × (2/2)

x - 55/10 - x - 6/10

Now we can combine like terms:

x - x - 55/10 - 6/10

Simplify the algebraic equation further:

= -61/10

Therefore, the simplified expression is -61/10.
