Step  1  :

            24
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

   148          24
  (——— -  2) -  ——
   10           5 

Step  2  :

            74
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  2  :

   74          24
  (—— -  2) -  ——
   5           5 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  5  as the denominator :

         2     2 • 5
    2 =  —  =  —————
         1       5  

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

 3.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 74 - (2 • 5)     64
 ————————————  =  ——
      5           5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  64    24
  —— -  ——
  5     5 

Step  4  :

Adding fractions which have a common denominator :

 4.1       Adding fractions which have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

 64 - (24)     8
 —————————  =  —
     5         1

Final result :

  8
