Q. Algebra Review\newlineQuestion 1919 of 3535 (11 point) | Question Attempt: 11 of 11\newline14=15=16=17=18=19 14=15=16\quad=17=18\quad=19 \newline=2 =2 \newlineSimplify.\newline23c15c \frac{2}{3}c-\frac{1}{5}c
  1. Identify Variable: Identify the common variable in both terms. Both terms have the variable cc. We will combine like terms by subtracting the coefficients.
  2. Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the fractions (23)(\frac{2}{3}) and (15)(\frac{1}{5}).\newlineThe common denominator for 33 and 55 is 1515.
  3. Convert to Common Denominator: Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator.\newline(23)c(\frac{2}{3})c becomes (2×53×5)c(\frac{2\times5}{3\times5})c which is (1015)c(\frac{10}{15})c.\newline(15)c(\frac{1}{5})c becomes (1×35×3)c(\frac{1\times3}{5\times3})c which is (315)c(\frac{3}{15})c.
  4. Subtract Fractions: Subtract the new fractions.\newline(1015)c(315)c=10315c=715c(\frac{10}{15})c - (\frac{3}{15})c = \frac{10-3}{15} c = \frac{7}{15}c.
  5. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression.\newlineThe simplified expression is (715)c(\frac{7}{15})c.
