whats the answer
To find the difference, we need to simplify the expression by combining like terms:
(1/4x - 9) - (1/8x - 1)
= 1/4x - 9 - 1/8x + 1 (distribute the negative)
= (2/8)x - (1/8)x - 9 + 1 (find a common denominator of 8)
= 1/8x - 8
Therefore, the difference is 1/8x - 8.
(1/4x - 9) - (1/8x - 1)
= 1/4x - 9 - 1/8x + 1 (distribute the negative)
= (2/8)x - (1/8)x - 9 + 1 (find a common denominator of 8)
= 1/8x - 8
Therefore, the difference is 1/8x - 8.
(1/4x - 9)- (1/8x - 1)
= (1/4)x - 9 - (1/8)x + 1
= (2/8)x - (1/8)x - 8
= (1/8)x - 8 or x/8 - 8
= (1/4)x - 9 - (1/8)x + 1
= (2/8)x - (1/8)x - 8
= (1/8)x - 8 or x/8 - 8
Yes, that is correct. Both expressions are equivalent.
