Please Help pt 2 I don't understand any of this

Answer 1

Answer:  $\bold{(D)\ \dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\ \ \dfrac{3}{4}-x\bigg(\dfrac{1}{2}-\dfrac{5}{8}\bigg)+\bigg(-\dfrac{3}{8}x\bigg)\\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}\bigg(\dfrac{2}{2}\bigg)-x\bigg[\dfrac{1}{2}\bigg(\dfrac{4}{4}\bigg)-\dfrac{5}{8}\bigg]+\bigg(-\dfrac{3}{8}x\bigg)\\\\\\=\dfrac{6}{8}-x\bigg(\dfrac{4}{8}-\dfrac{5}{8}\bigg)-\dfrac{3}{8}x\\\\\\=\dfrac{6}{8}-x\bigg(-\dfrac{1}{8}\bigg)-\dfrac{3}{8}x\\\\\\=\dfrac{6}{8}+\dfrac{1}{8}x-\dfrac{3}{8}x\\\\\\=\dfrac{6}{8}-\dfrac{2}{8}x\\\\\\=\dfrac{3}{4}-\dfrac{1}{4}x\quad \text{(reduced both fractions)}$
