Answer:

The difference is 7x-75/84x

Explanation:

To find the difference of the function

X+9/12x-23/14x.

Step 1:

We will find the LCM of the denominator first

The LCM of 12x and 14x is 84x

Step 2:

We will take the difference

X+9/12x-23/14x

= {7(x+9)-6(23)}/84x

= 7x+63-138/84x

= 7x-75/84x

Therefore the difference is 7x-75/84x

Answer:

The difference is
(7x-75)/(84x).

Explanation:

In this question we have to subtract two fractions and simplify the difference.

So the fractions are
(x+9)/(12x)and (23)/(14x)

Now we simplify the subtraction of second from one.


(x+9)/(12x)-(23)/(14x)


= (7(x+9)-6* 23)/(84x)


=(7(x+9)-138)/(84x)


=(7x+63-138)/(84x)


=(7x-75)/(84x)

Therefore the simplified form of the difference is
(7x-75)/(84x)
