Answer:

The difference of the terms is
x +(21)/(2)

Explanation:

Here, the given expression is
(3)/(4) (3x+6)  - (1)/(4)(5x -24)

Solving the above terms,


(3)/(4) (3x) +(3)/(4) (6)  - (1)/(4)(5x) +(1)/(4)(24) = (9x)/(4)  + (9)/(2)  - (5x)/(4)   + 6

or,
(9x)/(4)    - (5x)/(4)  + (9)/(2)  + 6  \\(9x - 5x)/(4)  + (18 + 24)/(4)  \\(4x)/(4)  +(21)/(2)

=
x +(21)/(2)

So, the difference of the terms is
x +(21)/(2)
