(y)/(5)-(5)/(y) - subtract fractions

Solution for the given fractions

• y/5 - 5/y = ?
• The common denominator of the two fractions is: 5*y
• y/5 = (y*y)/(5*y) = (y^2)/(5*y)
• 5/y = (5*5)/(5*y) = 25/(5*y)
• Fractions adjusted to a common denominator
• y/5 - 5/y = (y^2)/(5*y) - 25/(5*y)
• (y^2)/(5*y) - 25/(5*y) = (y^2-25)/(5*y)
• (y^2-25)/(5*y) = (y^2-25)/(5*y)

Solution for the given fractions

$ \frac{y}{5 }-\frac{ 5}{y }=? $

The common denominator of the two fractions is: 5*y

$ \frac{y}{5 }= \frac{(y*y)}{(5*y)} = \frac{(y^2)}{(5*y)} $

$ \frac{5}{y }= \frac{(5*5)}{(5*y)} =\frac{ 25}{(5*y)} $

Fractions adjusted to a common denominator

$ \frac{y}{5 }-\frac{ 5}{y }= \frac{(y^2)}{(5*y)} -\frac{ 25}{(5*y)} $

$ \frac{(y^2)}{(5*y)} -\frac{ 25}{(5*y)} = \frac{(y^2-25)}{(5*y)} $

$ \frac{(y^2-25)}{(5*y)} = \frac{(y^2-25)}{(5*y)} $
