Answer 1

`(x-22)/((x+2)(x-4))`

Explanation:

multiply the numerator/denominator of the first fraction by (x - 4)

multiply the numerator/denominator of the second fraction by (x + 2)

this ensures that the fractions have a common denominator

`(4)/(x+2)` -
`(3)/(x-4)`

=
`(4(x-4))/((x+2)(x-4))` -
`(3(x+2))/((x+2)(x-4))` ← subtract numerators leaving the common denominator

=
`(4x-16-3x-6)/((x+2)(x-4))`

=
`(x-22)/((x+2)(x-4))`
