Write the fraction below as a sum or difference.
( 9 -15 x / 5)
The given fraction can be written as a sum or difference by separating the numerator into two terms:
(9 - 15x) / 5
= (9/5) - (15x/5)
= 9/5 - 3x
To write the fraction (9 - 15x) / 5 as a sum or difference, we need to simplify it by expanding the numerator.
First, distribute the -15x to both terms inside the parentheses:
9 - 15x / 5 = 9/5 - (15x/5)
Now, we can write it as a sum or difference by expressing both terms over a common denominator:
9/5 - (15x/5) = (9 - 15x) / 5
Therefore, the fraction (9 - 15x) / 5 cannot be further simplified as a sum or difference.
