Question

Subtract and simplify: x + y over 6 minus quantity 2x + y over 10

Answer 1

\[(x+y)/6 - (2x+y)/10\]

Answer 2

\[(10x +10y)/60 - (12x+6y)/60\]

Answer 3

\[\frac{x+y}{6}-\frac{2x+y}{10}\]
Make denominator same,
\[\frac{(x+y)\times 10}{6\times 10}-\frac{(2x+y)\times 6}{10\times 6}\]
\[\frac{10x+10y}{60}-\frac{(12x+6y)}{60} \]
Now that the denominator is equal you can combine them,
\[\frac{(10x+10y)-(12x+6y)}{60}\]
Can you simplify it now?
