Simplify 3/(2x-1)-5/(2x-1)

Problem

3/(2*x−1)−5/(2*x−1)

Solution

1. Identify the denominators of the two fractions. Since both fractions have the same denominator, 2*x−1 they are like fractions.

2. Combine the numerators over the common denominator by performing the subtraction.

(3−5)/(2*x−1)

3. Subtract the constants in the numerator to find the simplified value.

(−2)/(2*x−1)

Final Answer

3/(2*x−1)−5/(2*x−1)=−2/(2*x−1)
