\frac{4x}{12\left(a-1\right)}-\frac{3x}{12\left(a-1\right)}
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of 3\left(a-1\right) and 4\left(a-1\right) is 12\left(a-1\right). Multiply \frac{x}{3\left(a-1\right)} times \frac{4}{4}. Multiply \frac{x}{4\left(a-1\right)} times \frac{3}{3}.
\frac{4x-3x}{12\left(a-1\right)}
Since \frac{4x}{12\left(a-1\right)} and \frac{3x}{12\left(a-1\right)} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.
\frac{x}{12\left(a-1\right)}
Combine like terms in 4x-3x.
\frac{x}{12a-12}
Expand 12\left(a-1\right).
