simplify (2x)/3-x/4

Solution

simplify

\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{x}{4}

\frac{5 x}{12}

Solution steps

\frac{2 x}{3} - \frac{x}{4}

Least Common Multiplier of

3, 4 : 12

Adjust Fractions based on the LCM

= \frac{8 x}{12} - \frac{x \cdot 3}{12}

Apply the fraction rule:

\frac{a}{c} - \frac{b}{c} = \frac{a - b}{c}

= \frac{8 x - x \cdot 3}{12}

Add similar elements:

8 x - x \cdot 3 = 5 x

= \frac{5 x}{12}

- \frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{5}{4}

- 4 - - 9 + - 16

(- 1) + (- 2 \frac{2}{5})

\frac{( 2 w ^{4} ) ^{3}}{6 w ^{4}}

\frac{- 56}{- 8}
