The expression \( X - \frac{1}{4} \) is already in its simplest form. However, there are several other ways to express it, such as:
- \( \frac{4X - 1}{4} \) (by combining the terms over a common denominator)
- \( X + (-\frac{1}{4}) \) (expressing \(-\frac{1}{4}\) as a negative term)
- You could write it as \( \frac{1}{4} \cdot (4X - 1) \) if factoring out \( \frac{1}{4} \).
