To simplify the expression \((17x - 12x)/x - (10 - x)/x\), we can follow these steps:
Start with the expression:
\[ \frac{17x - 12x}{x} - \frac{10 - x}{x} \]
Simplify the first term:
\[ \frac{17x - 12x}{x} = \frac{5x}{x} = 5 \quad (\text{as long as } x \neq 0) \]
Simplify the second term:
\[ \frac{10 - x}{x} = \frac{10}{x} - \frac{x}{x} = \frac{10}{x} - 1 \]
Now substitute these simplified terms back into the original expression:
\[ 5 - \left(\frac{10}{x} - 1\right) \]
Distribute the negative sign:
\[ 5 - \frac{10}{x} + 1 = 6 - \frac{10}{x} \]
Therefore, the simplified expression is:
\[ 6 - \frac{10}{x} \]
So the final answer is:
\[ 6 - \frac{10}{x} \]
