Answer:

-2/3

Explanation:

Plug in x given the expression is 1/3x - 3/4.

The value of x is 1/4.

1/3x - 3/4

1/3(1/4) - 3/4

1/12 - 3/4

Make 1/12 and -3/4 have a common denominator.

12 is the common denominator so make -3/4 have a denominator of 12.

-3/4(3/3)

-9/12

Now add them:

1/12 - 9/12

= -8/12 which simplifies to -2/3
