write this as a single fraction... help please

OpenStudy (megan7):

\[\frac{ x }{ 5 } - \frac{ x }{ 10 }\]

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

\[\frac{ x }{ -5 }\]

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

I think :P

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

pretty sure it is

alones (alones):

Hrmm well\[\frac{ 1 }{ 5 }x=+\frac{ -1 }{ 10 }x\]

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

umm...

alones (alones):

@danieldjpon3 Igot different answer

OpenStudy (danieldjpon3):

@AloneS same here... XD

alones (alones):

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 10 }x\]

OpenStudy (megan7):

it says the answer is \[\frac{ x }{ 10 }\] but idk how to get that answer

alones (alones):

@megan7 If you multiply the first fraction by 2 you'll get the denominators which equals to 10

OpenStudy (megan7):

so that's all youd have to do on these problems?

alones (alones):

Yes Or if you need to write this out you could write this \( \frac{ x }{ 5 }\)- \(\frac{ x }{ 10 }\) \[\ 2x - \frac{ x }{ 10 }\] \[\frac{ x }{ 10 }\]

OpenStudy (megan7):

oh okay! thank you!!
