We'll simplify the expression by evaluating each part step by step.
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
Inside the brackets, we have:
.
To simplify this, we need a common denominator:
and is already with denominator .
Thus, we can write:
.
Now, we factor out in the numerator:
.
Step 2: Substitute into the original expression:
The entire expression becomes:
.
Step 3: Perform arithmetic operations:
Since there is no further simplification between these terms and different denominators inhibit simple operations, we leave the expression as:
.
Rewriting this with a better understanding:
This matches our corresponding solution structure:
. However, simplifying was accurate.
Observe that we correlate it to resultant simplifying insights:
.
Therefore, the simplified solution is .
\( 100-(5+55)= \)
To combine fractions, they need the same denominator. Writing lets you subtract easily!
The negative sign distributes to each term: . Think of it as .
The expression means times , which equals .
The final answer is in simplest form because the terms have different structures and cannot be combined further.
Substitute your simplified expression back and verify it equals the original. Also check that distributing and combining gives the same result as your direct simplification.
