You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \(7 - \frac{3}{5}\)

MathBot Answer:

\[ 7 - \frac{3}{5} = \frac{32}{5} = 6.4 \]

The sum can be computed by rewriting each term over a common denominator, where the least common denominator of \(\frac{7}{1}\) and \(\frac{-3}{5}\) is \(5\). \[ \begin{aligned} 7 - \frac{3}{5} &= \frac{7 \cdot 5}{1 \cdot 5} + \frac{-3 \cdot 1}{5 \cdot 1} \\ &= \frac{35 + -3}{5} \\ &= \frac{32}{5} \end{aligned} \]
