Answer: 5/6

Explanation:

Let's start by making 2/3 more easier to subtract by multiplying the numerator and denominator by 2.


(2)/(3)x
(2)/(2)=(4)/(6)

Now it's 5/6+4/6 which is 9/6

for the 3/4 multiple the numerator and denominator by 3


(3)/(4)x
(3)/(3) =(9)/(12)

9/12-1/12=8/12

we can divide the numerator and denominator by 2


(8)/(12) ÷
(2)/(2) =(4)/(6)

9/6-4/6=5/6

(5/6 + 2/3) - (3/4 + 1/12
= 9/6 - 10/12
= 18/12 - 10/12
= 8/12
= SIMPLIFY: 2/3

Hope this helps!!
