Solve 17pi/3-4pi

$$\frac{ 17 \pi }{ 3 } -4 \pi$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{5\pi }{3}\approx 5.235987756$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply -4\pi times \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{17\pi }{3}+\frac{3\left(-4\right)\pi }{3}$$

Since \frac{17\pi }{3} and \frac{3\left(-4\right)\pi }{3} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$\frac{17\pi +3\left(-4\right)\pi }{3}$$

Do the multiplications in 17\pi +3\left(-4\right)\pi .

$$\frac{17\pi -12\pi }{3}$$

Combine like terms in 17\pi -12\pi .

$$\frac{5\pi }{3}$$
