\frac{-\left(3a+b\right)}{-a+b}-\frac{4b}{-a+b}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of a-b and b-a is -a+b. Multiply \frac{3a+b}{a-b} times \frac{-1}{-1}.
\frac{-\left(3a+b\right)-4b}{-a+b}
Since \frac{-\left(3a+b\right)}{-a+b} and \frac{4b}{-a+b} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{-3a-b-4b}{-a+b}
Do the multiplications in -\left(3a+b\right)-4b.
\frac{-3a-5b}{-a+b}
Combine like terms in -3a-b-4b.
