Solve v/3-4

$$\frac { v } { 3 } - 4$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{v}{3}-4$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 4 times \frac{3}{3}.

$$\frac{v}{3}-\frac{4\times 3}{3}$$

Since \frac{v}{3} and \frac{4\times 3}{3} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{v-4\times 3}{3}$$

Do the multiplications in v-4\times 3.

$$\frac{v-12}{3}$$

Factor

$$\frac{v-12}{3}$$

Solution Steps

Factor out \frac{1}{3}.

$$\frac{v-12}{3}$$
