For

\frac{6 \cdot 3}{2} :

multiply the denominator and numerator by

2

\frac{6 \cdot 3}{2} = \frac{6 \cdot 3 \cdot 2}{2 \cdot 2} = \frac{6 6}{4}

= \frac{6 6}{4} - \frac{6 + 2}{4}

Since the denominators are equal, combine the fractions:

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

= \frac{6 6 - ( 6 + 2 )}{4}

Expand

66 - (6 + 2) : 56 - 2

66 - (6 + 2)

- (6 + 2) : - 6 - 2

- (6 + 2)

Distribute parentheses

= - (6) - (2)

Apply minus-plus rules

+ (- a) = - a

= - 6 - 2

= 66 - 6 - 2

Add similar elements:

66 - 6 = 56

= 56 - 2

= \frac{5 6 - 2}{4}

= \frac{5 6 - 2}{4}
