To subtract these expressions, we need to distribute the negative sign to both terms inside the second parentheses:
1/2(z + 4) - 3(1/4z + 1)
= 1/2z + 2 - 3/4z - 3
Now, let's combine like terms by adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator:
= (1/2z - 3/4z) + (2 - 3)
To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4:
= (2/4z - 3/4z) + (2 - 3)
= (-1/4z) + (-1)
= -1/4z - 1
Therefore, the final result is -1/4z - 1.
1/2(z + 4) - 3(1/4z + 1)
= 1/2z + 2 - 3/4z - 3
Now, let's combine like terms by adding or subtracting fractions with the same denominator:
= (1/2z - 3/4z) + (2 - 3)
To combine the fractions, we need a common denominator. In this case, the least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4:
= (2/4z - 3/4z) + (2 - 3)
= (-1/4z) + (-1)
= -1/4z - 1
Therefore, the final result is -1/4z - 1.
