Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given expression   

Expression

7m+3m+2-5

It can be rewritten as

7m+3m+2-51

02

Step 2. Find LCD

here nothing is common

So LCD ism+2(1)=m+2

03

Step 3. Rewrite each rational expression as  an equivalent rational expression with the LCD     

7m+3m+2-5(m+2)m+2

04

Step 4.Simplify the numerators.  

7m+3m+2-5m+10m+2

05
