Answer:

(-27x -2)/21

Explanation:

Perhaps you want to combine the two fractions. This is done using a common denominator.


(4-2x)/(7)-(3x+2)/(3)=(3(4-2x))/(7\cdot3)-(7(3x+2))/(7\cdot3)\\\\=(3(4-2x)-7(3x+2))/(21)=(12-6x-21x-14)/(21)=\boxed{(-27x-2)/(21)}

Additional comment

If you need to simplify this further, you can apply the distributive property.

= -9/7x -2/21
