Question

Subtract the algebraic fractions x/2 - x/8

Answer 1

The answer would be 3x/8.

Explanation:

Both fractions would need to have a common denominator, so you could multiply x/2 by 4 on both the top and bottom to get 4x/8.

You could then subtract both the numerators from each other.

4x-x=x

The denominator will stay the same.

X/8.
