Final answer:

To find the difference, subtract the second term from the first term by simplifying the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expression is 9/3x - 4(2x^2).

To find the difference, we need to subtract the second term from the first term.

Subtracting 4(2x^2) from 9/3x, we get (9/3x) - (4(2x^2)).

Simplifying further:

  • (9/3x) - (8x^2)
  • 3(3/x) - (8x^2)
  • (9 - 24x^2)/3x

Therefore, the difference is (9 - 24x^2)/3x.
