| ① | Subtract $w$ from $ \dfrac{100}{c} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -cw+100 } }{ c }$. Step 1: Write $ w $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ② | Add $ \dfrac{-cw+100}{c} $ and $ \dfrac{w}{c} $ to get $ \dfrac{-cw+w+100}{c} $. To add expressions with the same denominators, we add the numerators and write the result over the common denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} \frac{-cw+100}{c} + \frac{w}{c} & = \frac{-cw+100}{\color{blue}{c}} + \frac{w}{\color{blue}{c}} =\frac{ -cw+100 + w }{ \color{blue}{ c }} = \\[1ex] &= \frac{-cw+w+100}{c} \end{aligned} $$ |
