Given:

First Step:

Use distributive property to distribute the negative sign and remove the parenthesis

$\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)--(1)/(2) \\ \\ (3)/(4)\text{ + }(1)/(2) \end{gathered}$

Next Step:

Find the greatest common factor of the denominators.

Divide the GCF by the denominators and multiply by the numerators.

The GCF of 4 and 2 = 2

$\begin{gathered} (3)/(4)+(1)/(2) \\ \\ \frac{\text{?? + ??}}{4} \end{gathered}$

$\frac{3\text{ + 2}}{4}\text{ = }(5)/(4)$
