You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(2 - \frac{7}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 2 - \frac{7}{5} = \frac{3}{5} = 0.6 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{2}{1}\) and \(\frac{-7}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 2 - \frac{7}{5} &= \frac{2 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{-7 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{10 + -7}{5} \\ &= \frac{3}{5} \end{aligned} \]
