How can Ari simplify the following expression? StartFraction 5 Over a minus 3 EndFraction minus 4 divided by 2 + StartFraction 1 Over a minus 3 EndFraction

The simplification for the expression is given as =( 7 + 2(a-3))/(a-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify the expression we will first convert the words to values in numbers and alphabets.

StartFraction 5 Over a minus 3 EndFraction minus 4 divided by 2 + StartFraction 1 Over a minus 3 EndFraction

= 5/(a-3) -4/2 + 2/(a-3)

Having done that, let's move on and simplify the expression.

5/(a-3) -4/2 + 2/(a-3)

= 5/(a-3) -2+ 2/(a-3)

= 5/(a-3) + 2/(a-3) -2

= 7/(a-3) -2

=( 7 + 2(a-3))/(a-3)
