First find the common denominator. In this case, you would want to use 32. So, 1/4 = 8/32. So, an ant is 8/32 of an inch and an aphid is 3/32 of an inch. Now to find the difference, you subract. 8/32 - 3/32 = 5/32. So the answer is, the ant is 5/32 of an inch longer.
D, because 1/4 is equivalent to 4/12 and 7/12+4/12=11/12 which is equivalent to 5/6

The subtraction sign in front of the second set of parenthesis changes the signs on the terms inside those parenthesis. So this could be rewritten as

. None of the exponents on the x are the same, so we will just express it in terms of descending powers of x.

. This is also the same as

if you don't like to start with a negative. Either one is correct.
