To find the subtracted value, we need to calculate the multiplicative inverse of (4/3 - 4/9) and then subtract it from the sum of 7/12 and 7/8.

First, let's find the multiplicative inverse of (4/3 - 4/9):

Multiplicative inverse = 1 / (4/3 - 4/9)

To simplify the expression, we need a common denominator:

Multiplicative inverse = 1 / ((12/9) - (4/9))

= 1 / (8/9)

= 9/8

Now, we need to subtract the multiplicative inverse from the sum of 7/12 and 7/8:

Subtracted value = (7/12 + 7/8) - (9/8)

To perform this calculation, we need a common denominator:

Subtracted value = (7/12 * 2/2 + 7/8 * 3/3) - (9/8)

= (14/24 + 21/24) - (9/8)

= 35/24 - 9/8

To simplify further, we need a common denominator:

Subtracted value = (35/24 * 1/1) - (9/8 * 3/3)

= 35/24 - 27/24

= 8/24

= 1/3

Therefore, subtracting 1/3 from the sum of 7/12 and 7/8 will give you the multiplicative inverse of (4/3 - 4/9).
