Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. We are asked to subtract two fractions.
2. Both fractions have the same denominator, which simplifies the subtraction process.

STEP 2

1. Confirm that the fractions have a common denominator.
2. Subtract the numerators while keeping the common denominator.
3. Simplify the resulting fraction if possible.

STEP 3

Verify that both fractions have the same denominator. In this case, both fractions have a denominator of 7.
3x+57and77 \frac{3x + 5}{7} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{7}{7}

STEP 4

Subtract the numerators of the two fractions while keeping the common denominator:
(3x+5)77 \frac{(3x + 5) - 7}{7}

STEP 5

Simplify the expression in the numerator:
(3x+5)7=3x+57=3x2 (3x + 5) - 7 = 3x + 5 - 7 = 3x - 2

STEP 6

Write the simplified fraction:
3x27 \frac{3x - 2}{7}
This is the simplified result of the subtraction.
