Question

(3/4x-1) - (1/3x+4) what is the difference

Answer 1

`\huge\boxed{(5)/(12)x-5}`

Explanation:

`\left((3)/(4)x-1\right)-\left((1)/(3)x+4\right)=(3)/(4)x-1-(1)/(3)x-4=\left((3)/(4)x-(1)/(3)x\right)+(-1-4)\\\\=\left((3\cdot3)/(4\cdot3)x-(1\cdot4)/(3\cdot4)x\right)+(-5)=\left((9)/(12)x-(4)/(12)x\right)-5=(9-4)/(12)x-5\\\\=(5)/(12)x-5`
