Reformatting the input :

Changes made to your input should not affect the solution:

(1): "2.6" was replaced by "(26/10)". 2 more similar replacement(s)

Step  1  :

            13
 Simplify   ——
            5 

Equation at the end of step  1  :

          2     13
  (46 -  ——) -  ——
         10     5 

Step  2  :

            1
 Simplify   —
            5

Equation at the end of step  2  :

         1     13
  (46 -  —) -  ——
         5     5 

Step  3  :

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction :

 3.1   Subtracting a fraction from a whole

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

           46     46 • 5
     46 =  ——  =  ——————
           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:

 46 • 5 - (1)     229
 ————————————  =  ———
      5            5 

Equation at the end of step  3  :

  229    13
  ——— -  ——
   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:

 229 - (13)     216
 ——————————  =  ———
     5           5 

Final result :

  216            
  ——— = 43.20000
