Question
$$\frac{71}{5}-\frac{28}{30} = 0$$
Answer
This equation has no solution.
Explanation
$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{71}{5}-\frac{28}{30} &= 0&& \text{multiply ALL terms by } \color{blue}{ 30 }. \\[1 em]30\cdot\frac{71}{5}-30\cdot\frac{28}{30} &= 30\cdot0&& \text{cancel out the denominators} \\[1 em]426-28 &= 0&& \text{simplify left side} \\[1 em]398 &= 0&& \\[1 em] \end{aligned} $$
Since the statement $ \color{red}{ 398 = 0 } $ is FALSE, we conclude that the equation has no solution.
