1. Write both terms with a common denominator.

The lowest common denominator of 33 and 44 is 1212.

2x3−3(x−2)4=8x12−9(x−2)12\frac{2x}{3}-\frac{3(x-2)}{4}=\frac{8x}{12}-\frac{9(x-2)}{12}

2. Combine the numerators and simplify.

8x12−9(x−2)12=8x−9(x−2)12\frac{8x}{12}-\frac{9(x-2)}{12}=\frac{8x-9(x-2)}{12}

=8x−9x+1812=\frac{8x-9x+18}{12}

=−x+1812=\frac{-x+18}{12}

Answer

−x+1812\dfrac{-x+18}{12}
