Answer:

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to add and subtract the fractions given. To do this, we need to find a common denominator for all of the fractions.

The least common multiple of 4, 16, and 12 is 48, so we can rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 48:

1/4 = 3/12

29/16 = 87/48

9735/12 = 4047/48

Then, we can add and subtract the fractions as follows:

3/12 + 87/48 - 4047/48 = (3 - 4047)/48 = -4044/48 = -84/16

Therefore, the final answer is -84/16, or -5 and 1/16 in simplified form.
