Answer:

5(x-y)/6

Explanation:

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

We have to find the Least common multiple to simplify the operation.

(The Least common multiple of 3 and 2 = 3*2 = 6)

[2(4x-y)-3(x+y)]/6

(8x-2y-3x-3y)/6

5x-5y/6

5(x-y)/6

The rule of subtracting the fraction, including the constant, is to do in a simplification method.

Therefore, the answer is 5(x-y)/6
