-\frac{2\left(7a+6\right)}{20}-\frac{5\left(a-2\right)}{20}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 10 and 4 is 20. Multiply -\frac{7a+6}{10} times \frac{2}{2}. Multiply \frac{a-2}{4} times \frac{5}{5}.
\frac{-2\left(7a+6\right)-5\left(a-2\right)}{20}
Since -\frac{2\left(7a+6\right)}{20} and \frac{5\left(a-2\right)}{20} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{-14a-12-5a+10}{20}
Do the multiplications in -2\left(7a+6\right)-5\left(a-2\right).
\frac{-19a-2}{20}
Combine like terms in -14a-12-5a+10.
