\frac{3x}{4\left(x+y\right)}-\frac{x}{8\left(x+y\right)}
Factor 4x+4y. Factor 8x+8y.
\frac{2\times 3x}{8\left(x+y\right)}-\frac{x}{8\left(x+y\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 4\left(x+y\right) and 8\left(x+y\right) is 8\left(x+y\right). Multiply \frac{3x}{4\left(x+y\right)} times \frac{2}{2}.
\frac{2\times 3x-x}{8\left(x+y\right)}
Since \frac{2\times 3x}{8\left(x+y\right)} and \frac{x}{8\left(x+y\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{6x-x}{8\left(x+y\right)}
Do the multiplications in 2\times 3x-x.
\frac{5x}{8\left(x+y\right)}
Combine like terms in 6x-x.
\frac{5x}{8x+8y}
Expand 8\left(x+y\right).
