Question
$$\frac{15}{6}-\frac{4}{5} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{15}{6}-\frac{4}{5} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 30 }. \\[1 em]30\cdot\frac{15}{6}-30\cdot\frac{4}{5} &= 30\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]75-24 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]51 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 51 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
