Answer: bottom right

Solution:

First solve like-terms:
-1/4x + 1/2x
Find the lowest common denominator which is 4. Multiply 1/2 by 2/2 to get 2/4 so that your denominators (number on the bottom of the fraction) have the same number.

Now add:
-1/4x + 2/4x which is equal to 2/4x - 1/4x
Since the numbers have the same denominator, subtract the numerators.

-1/4x + 2/4x= 1/4x

Now move on to the other terms:
2/3 - 1/6
Find lowest common denominator which is 6.
Multiply 2/3 by 2/2 to get a denominator of 6.
Once they have the same denominator, you can subtract.

4/6 - 1/6 = 3/6

3/6 = 1/2

3/6 reduces to 1/2; these are equivalent fractions.

Lastly, combine the two terms:
1/2 + 1/4x

Answer:

it's the bottom left one

Explanation:

Im just a kid, don't ask

So -1/4x+1/2 x would be 1/4 x because -0.25+0.5=0.25

translating 2/3 into 4/6, so we do 4/6-2/6 which would be 1/2.

:) Im an idiot lol
