Question

$3-\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)$ how to solve this with steps?

Answer 1

Solve the required expression:

Let $x$ be the required solution:

$\Rightarrow x=3-\left(\frac{12}{5}\right)$

Multiplying both sides $5$ so that the denominator is same,

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow 5x=15-12 \\ \Rightarrow 5x=3 \\ \Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{5} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, the value of $x$ is $\frac{3}{5}$.
