Question

If you have x - 4 and subtract 1 / 4 x + 5 from it the result is

Answer 1

(3x/4) - 9

`(3x)/(4)-9`

Step-by-step explanation

We are told to subtract (¼x + 5) from (x - 4)

We just simply do this step by step

(x - 4) - (¼x + 5)

`\begin{gathered} (x-4)-((1)/(4)x+5) \\ =x-4-(1)/(4)x-5 \\ =x-(x)/(4)-4-5 \\ =(4x)/(4)-(x)/(4)-9 \\ =(4x-x)/(4)-9 \\ =(3x)/(4)-9 \end{gathered}`

Hope this Helps!!!
