Simplify (frac{x – 4}{4} – frac{x – 3}{6})

Simplify (frac{x – 4}{4} – frac{x – 3}{6})
  • A.
    (frac{x – 18}{12})
  • B.
    (frac{x – 6}{12})
  • C.
    (frac{x – 18}{24})
  • D.
    (frac{x – 6}{24})
Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

(frac{x – 4}{4} – frac{x – 3}{6}) = (frac{3(x – 4) – 2(x – 3)}{12})
= (frac{3x -12 – 2x + 6}{12})
= (frac{3x – 2x – 12 + 6}{12})
= (frac{x – 6}{12})
