Problem 118
Question
Perform the indicated operation. Write the answer as an algebraic expression. $$\frac{10}{y}-\frac{6}{y}$$
Step-by-Step Solution
Verified Answer
The answer is \( \frac{4}{y} \).
1Step 1: Identify like terms
Observe that both fractions have the same denominator \( y \), which means that they are like terms and can be subtracted directly.
2Step 2: Perform the subtraction
Subtract the numerators to get the result. \( \frac{10}{y} - \frac{6}{y} = \frac{10 - 6}{y} \)
3Step 3: Simplify the result
Subtract the numbers in the numerator to obtain the final result: \( \frac{10 - 6}{y} = \frac{4}{y} \)
