Basic Math Examples

$a = b (\frac{1}{c} - \frac{1}{d})$

Step 1

Apply the distributive property.

$a = b \frac{1}{c} + b (- \frac{1}{d})$

Step 2

Combine $b$ and $\frac{1}{c}$ .

$a = \frac{b}{c} + b (- \frac{1}{d})$

Step 3

Rewrite using the commutative property of multiplication.

$a = \frac{b}{c} - b \frac{1}{d}$

Step 4

Combine $\frac{1}{d}$ and $b$ .

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