Thanks!

Answer 1

denominators are the same, subtract in the numerator, use parentheses

Answer 2

\[\frac{x-5}{3x+4}-\frac{3x-5}{3x+4}=\frac{x-5-(3x-5)}{3x+4}\]

Answer 3

no remove the parentheses and combine like terms in the numerator
\[\frac{x-5-(3x-5)}{3x+4}=\frac{x-5-3x+5}{3x+4}=\frac{-2x}{3x+4}\]
