(5)/(a)-(x)/(9) - subtract fractions

Solution for the given fractions

• 5/a - x/9 = ?
• The common denominator of the two fractions is: 9*a
• 5/a = (5*9)/(9*a) = 45/(9*a)
• x/9 = (a*x)/(9*a) = (a*x)/(9*a)
• Fractions adjusted to a common denominator
• 5/a - x/9 = 45/(9*a) - (a*x)/(9*a)
• 45/(9*a) - (a*x)/(9*a) = (45-(a*x))/(9*a)
• (45-(a*x))/(9*a) = (45-(a*x))/(9*a)

Solution for the given fractions

$ \frac{5}{a }-\frac{ x}{9 }=? $

The common denominator of the two fractions is: 9*a

$ \frac{5}{a }= \frac{(5*9)}{(9*a)} =\frac{ 45}{(9*a)} $

$ \frac{x}{9 }= \frac{(a*x)}{(9*a)} = \frac{(a*x)}{(9*a)} $

Fractions adjusted to a common denominator

$ \frac{5}{a }-\frac{ x}{9 }=\frac{ 45}{(9*a)} - \frac{(a*x)}{(9*a)} $

$ \frac{45}{(9*a)} - \frac{(a*x)}{(9*a)} = \frac{(45-(a*x))}{(9*a)} $

$ \frac{(45-(a*x))}{(9*a)} = \frac{(45-(a*x))}{(9*a)} $
