For this case, we must simplify the following expression:


\frac {(x + 8)} {4} - \frac {(x + 5)} {4}

They are fractions with the same denominator, they can be subtracted in the traditional way. We must bear in mind that the law of the signs of multiplication states:


- * + = -

So:


\frac {(x + 8)} {4} - \frac {(x + 5)} {4} = \frac {x + 8-x-5} {4} = \frac {x-x + 8- 5} {4} = \frac {3} {4}

ANswer:

Option C
