Answer:

$(x - 8)/(3x) - \frac{3x}{ {x}^(2) } \\ \\ (x - 8)/(3x) - (3)/(x) \\ \\ (x - 8 - 9)/(3) \\ \\ ( x - 17)/(3x)$

Answer:

$\\ (x - 8)/(3x) - \frac{3x}{ {x}^(2) }$

$\\ = (x - 8)/(3x) - \frac{3 {\cancel{x}}}{{ \cancel {x^2} }}$

$\\ = (x - 8)/(3x) - (3)/(x)$

$\\ = (x - 8 - 9)/(3)$

$\\ = (x - 17)/(3x)$
