Hello!
The equation
simplified is
.
Explanation:
Begin by giving both equations common denominators in this case we will use 18.
For the first set of fractions we multiply 4 by 3 to get 12 and for the second set of fractions we multiply 1 by 6 to get 6.
Our new set of fractions will look like this
Now we can subtract the numerators since our denominators match.
so the new answer will be
It's time to simplify both sets of fractions before we can completely solve the equation. (divide by 2, then 3)
÷
÷
Since 3 is larger than 1 we are done reducing, time to solve for the final answer.
Hope this helps!
