This equation is also equal to 3/4x - 2/3 + 5/6 + 2x since subtracting a negative is the same as adding a positive in the long run. First, simplify the variables to get 2 3/4x - 2/3 + 5/6. -2/3 is also equal to -4/6, so -4/6 + 5/6 is 1/6. The simplified version of this expression is 2 3/4x + 1/6.

The difference of (3/4x - 2/3) - (-5/6+2x) is A.
= - (5)/(4) x + (1)/(6)

To find the difference of the given expression, we need to simplify it by performing the operations inside the parentheses first and then subtracting the second expression from the first.


((3)/(4) x -(2)/(3) )


= (3)/(4) x - (2)/(3) + (5)/(6) - 2x


= ((3)/(4) - 2x) + ((5)/(6) - (2)/(3) )


= - (5)/(4) x + (1)/(6)

Therefore, the difference of the given expression is
= - (5)/(4) x + (1)/(6)

The correct answer is: A.
= - (5)/(4) x + (1)/(6)
