simplify 1/x-1/(2x)

Solution

simplify

\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2 x}

\frac{1}{2 x}

Solution steps

\frac{1}{x} - \frac{1}{2 x}

Least Common Multiplier of

x, 2 x : 2 x

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

= \frac{2}{2 x} - \frac{1}{2 x}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}

= \frac{2 - 1}{2 x}

Subtract the numbers:

2 - 1 = 1

= \frac{1}{2 x}

(1 + a)^{2}

\frac{( cos ( x ) ) ^{2} ( tan ( x ) ) ^{2} - 1}{( cos ( x ) ) ^{2}}

(\frac{w ^{3 - m}}{w ^{m}})^{- 1}

\frac{( x ^{2} - 4 x - 12 )}{( x + 2 )}

(x - y)^{2}
