Documenting the Subtraction Procedure for Rational Models

A manufacturing analyst is documenting a process for adjusting production cost models for a team of new technicians. One specific model requires subtracting the constant value 3 from the rational expression 5c+4c2\frac{5c+4}{c-2}. Write a short essay describing the standard mathematical steps required to perform this subtraction. In your response, clearly identify the initial transformation of the whole number, the method for finding the common denominator, and the critical step involved in combining the numerators to ensure an accurate result.
