Question

Find the difference ( 9/4​x+6) − (− 5/4​x−24)=​

Answer 1

`=(7)/(2)x+30`

Explanation:

So we have the equation:

`((9)/(4)x+6)-(-(5)/(4)x-24})`

First, distribute the negative on the right:

`=((9)/(4)x+6)+((5)/(4)x+24})`

Combine like terms:

`=((9)/(4)x+(5)/(4)x})+(6+24)`

Add:

`=(14)/(4)x+30`

We can reduce our fraction by dividing both layers by 2. Thus:

`=(7)/(2)x+30`

So this would be our answer :)
