The simplification of the given expression (1/3)(b + 12) - (1/4)(b + 12) is (b + 12)/12.
According to the given question.
We have an expression
(1/3)(b + 12) - (1/4)(b + 12)
As we know that, simplification of an expression means to write an equivalent expression which contains no similar terms.
Therefore, the simplification of the given expression (1/3)(b + 12) - (1/4)(b + 12) is given by
(1/3)(b + 12) - (1/4)(b + 12)
= (b + 12)[(1/3) -(1/4)] (taking (b + 12) common from each expression)
= (b + 12)[ (4-3)/12 ]
= (b + 12)[1/12]
= (b + 12)/12
Hence,the simplification of the given expression (1/3)(b + 12) - (1/4)(b + 12) is (b + 12)/12.
