Is there a picture so I can help
Let X be the variable used to represent the expression of the total number of books that Mario has read.
We used 4X to represent "four times the number of books". Then we add -2 to interpret the words "for two less than".
Therefore, we have an expression of 4X-2 for the total number of books that Mario has read.
So when you change the mixed numbers into improper fractions, they become 85/4 and 74/4. Your new problem is 85/4-74/4. Basically 85-74. That equals 9. So the improper fraction answer is 9/4. We now make that back into a mixed number, creating 2 1/4, or A.
