How do I show my work and what is the answer

25/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Make the fractions improper by multiplying the whole number by the denominator and then adding the numerator (if this makes sense).

This makes 5x10=50+3=53/10

Do the same for the second fraction. 2x5=10+4=14/5

Then make the denominators the same, and in this case all you need to do is multiply both sides of 14/5 by 2, so that makes 28/10.

Now, just take it away.

53/10-28/10=25/10, which can be then simplified into 2 1/2 or 5/2.
