Question

I need a little help here.
The problem is supposed to be simplified to the lowest terms.
a^2/a + 5b - 25b^2/a + 5b
The denominators are alike, but the numerators are not. Just so I do not confuse anyone I am working with fractions

Answer 1

Subtract numerators and keep the denominator...

(a^2-25b)^2/(a+5b)

now factor the top and see what you can do after that

Answer 2

(a^2-25b^2)****

Answer 3

So the answer would be (a-5b)?

Answer 4

Yep

Answer 5

Thanks
