Answer:

3x/8 - 41/5

Explanation:

Simplify each term.

3x/8 − 9+4/5

To write −9 as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by 5/5

3x/8−9 x 5/5 + 4/5

Combine −9 and 5/5

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

3x/8 + −41/5

Move the negative in front of the fraction

3x/8 - 41/5

Hope this helps you
