plug in a number for x and you'll see
Step 1. Convert 3 1/4 to an improper fraction.
3 * 4 + 1/4 - 1 5/8
Step 2. Simplify 3 * 4 to 12
12 + 1/4 - 1 5/8
Step 3. Simplify 12 + 1 to 13
13/4 - 1 5/8
Step 4. Convert 1 5/8 to an improper fraction.
13/4 - 1 * 8 + 5/8

Step 6. Simplify 8 + 5 to 13
13/4 - 13/8
Step 7. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 13/4, 13/8
LCD = 8
Step 8. Make the denominators the same as the LCD
13 * 2/ 4 * 2 - 13/8
Step 9. Simplify. Denominators are now the same
26/8 - 13/8
Step 10. Join the denominators
26 - 13/8
Step 11. Simplify
13/8
Step 12. Convert to a mixed fraction
