Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting our equation with parts separated

=1+215−15

Solving the fraction parts

2/15−15=?

Find the LCD of 2/15 and 1/5 and rewrite to solve with the equivalent fractions.

LCD = 15

2/15−3/15=−1/15

Combining the whole and fraction parts

1−1/15=14/15

Solution by Formulas

converting mixed numbers to fractions, our initial equation becomes,

17/15−15

Applying the fractions formula for subtraction,

=(17×5)−(1×15)15×5

=85−15/75

=70/75

Simplifying 70/75, the answer is

=14/15
