Question

3/x-5 - 2/1

Answer 1

\[{3\over x-5}-{2\over1}\]is the problem?

Answer 2

Yessum!

Answer 3

and we want to do what, simplify it? or is it equal to zero and we're supposed to solve for x?

Answer 4

Simplify it, I know we have to have the denominators the same?

Answer 5

seems weird to simplify this but if you want you can multiply (2/1) by\[ {x-5 \over x-5}\] and you get\[{3-2(x-5) \over x-5}={-2x+13 \over x-5}\]I guess that's your answer... doesn't seem much simpler though.

Answer 6

That's perfect I thin! Idk, I was taking the (x-5) times the 2 but idk it wasn't making sense with the answer I got, yours seems much better ! :) Thank you!
