  1. Identify Variable: Identify the common variable in both terms. In this case, the variable is cc.
  2. Find Common Denominator: Find a common denominator for the fractions to combine them. The denominators are 33 and 55, so the common denominator is 3×5=153 \times 5 = 15.
  3. Convert to Common Denominator: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator of 1515. This means multiplying the numerator and denominator of each fraction by the necessary factor to make the denominator 1515. For the first fraction, 23c\frac{2}{3}c, multiply by 55\frac{5}{5} to get 1015c\frac{10}{15}c. For the second fraction, 15c\frac{1}{5}c, multiply by 33\frac{3}{3} to get 315c\frac{3}{15}c.
  4. Rewrite with New Fractions: Rewrite the expression with the new fractions. The expression now is (1015)c(315)c(\frac{10}{15})c - (\frac{3}{15})c.
  5. Subtract Numerators: Subtract the numerators of the fractions and keep the common denominator. This gives us (103)/15×c(10 - 3)/15 \times c, which simplifies to (7/15)c(7/15)c.
  6. Write Final Expression: Write the final simplified expression. The simplified expression is (715)c(\frac{7}{15})c.
