Question

Which expression is equivalent to 1/4m + 3/4m - 3/8(m + 1)

Answer 1

4/4m - 3/8m + 3/8
8 - 3 / 8m + 3/8
5/8m + 3/8

Answer 2

Answer: The simplified form of the given expression is $\frac{2m-3}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an expression:

$\frac{1}{4}m+\frac{3}{4}m-\frac{3(m+1)}{8}$

Taking the LCM of the denominators, which are '4' and '8'. The LCM of these numbers are 8

Simplifying the expression, we get:

$\Rightarrow \frac{2m+3m-3m-3}{8}=\frac{2m+3m-3m-3}{8}\\\\\Rightarrow \frac{2m+3m-3m-3}{8}=\frac{2m-3}{8}$

Hence, the simplified form of the given expression is $\frac{2m-3}{8}$
