The simplified form of
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The statement “
Formula used:
When two fractions with different denominators are subtracted then the two unlike fractions are converted into like fractions by multiplying the denominators with a common factor of their lowest common multiple(LCM).
Consider the provided statement “
Recall that when two fractions with different denominators are subtracted then the two unlike fractions are converted into like fractions by multiplying the denominators with a common factor of their lowest common multiple(LCM).
LCM of 2 and 3 is 6.
So, multiply
Thus, the given expression can be simplified as,
Since,
Hence, the simplified form of
