Solve x-52/x/5

$$\frac { x - 5 \frac { 2 } { x } } { 5 }$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{x}{5}-\frac{2}{x}$$

Short Solution Steps

Express 5\times \frac{2}{x} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{x-\frac{5\times 2}{x}}{5}$$

Multiply 5 and 2 to get 10.

$$\frac{x-\frac{10}{x}}{5}$$

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply x times \frac{x}{x}.

$$\frac{\frac{xx}{x}-\frac{10}{x}}{5}$$

Since \frac{xx}{x} and \frac{10}{x} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{\frac{xx-10}{x}}{5}$$

Do the multiplications in xx-10.

$$\frac{\frac{x^{2}-10}{x}}{5}$$

Express \frac{\frac{x^{2}-10}{x}}{5} as a single fraction.

$$\frac{x^{2}-10}{x\times 5}$$

Expand

$$\frac{x}{5}-\frac{2}{x}$$
