Step 1
determine whether the given problem is an equation or an expression. If it is an equation, then solve. If it is an expression, then simplify. 1/4 (x + 3) - 2/3 (x - 1)
Step 2
We have, 14(x+3)23(x1)
The given problem is not equal to zero.
Hence, the given problem is expression.
Now,
14(x+3)23(x1)=(x+3)42(x1)3
14(x+3)23(x1)=(x+3)4(2x2)3
14(x+3)23(x1)=3(x+3)4(2x2)4×3
14(x+3)23(x1)=3x+98x+812
14(x+3)23(x1)=5x+1712
Hence, 14(x+3)23(x1)=5x+1712
