Answer

(3x/4) - 9


(3x)/(4)-9

Step-by-step explanation

We are told to subtract (¼x + 5) from (x - 4)

We just simply do this step by step

(x - 4) - (¼x + 5)


\begin{gathered} (x-4)-((1)/(4)x+5) \\ =x-4-(1)/(4)x-5 \\ =x-(x)/(4)-4-5 \\ =(4x)/(4)-(x)/(4)-9 \\ =(4x-x)/(4)-9 \\ =(3x)/(4)-9 \end{gathered}

Hope this Helps!!!
