Answer:

D

Explanation:

We would like to solve:

(3/4h + 4) - (1/2h + 1)

This is equivalent to:

3/4h + 4 - 1/2h - 1

First, combine like terms; that is, combine the terms with h in them and combine the terms without h in them:

3/4h - 1/2h + 4 - 1

The common denominator for 3/4 and 1/2 is 4, so:

3/4h - 1/2h = 3/4h - 2/4h = 1/4h

Put this back in:

1/4h + 4 - 1

1/4h + 3

The answer is thus D.
