Solve x-(xdiv4+2)

$$x-(x \div 4+2)$$

Evaluate

$$\frac{3x}{4}-2$$

Short Solution Steps

To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Multiply 2 times \frac{4}{4}.

$$x-\left(\frac{x}{4}+\frac{2\times 4}{4}\right)$$

Since \frac{x}{4} and \frac{2\times 4}{4} have the same denominator, add them by adding their numerators.

$$x-\frac{x+2\times 4}{4}$$

Do the multiplications in x+2\times 4.

$$x-\frac{x+8}{4}$$

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

$$\frac{4x}{4}-\frac{x+8}{4}$$

Since \frac{4x}{4} and \frac{x+8}{4} have the same denominator, subtract them by subtracting their numerators.

$$\frac{4x-\left(x+8\right)}{4}$$

Do the multiplications in 4x-\left(x+8\right).

$$\frac{4x-x-8}{4}$$

Combine like terms in 4x-x-8.

$$\frac{3x-8}{4}$$
