Firstly, you want to multiply (f^4)^2. 
Next, multiply everything on the numerator. 
Next, divide. 
Now remember that f^-2 = (1/f^2), so just convert the negative powered exponent to that, and your answer will be 
1 1/4= 1*4+1 /4. Or 5/4
In order to subtract you must have same denominator. 5/4 -3/8
Multiply 5/4 times 2/2. =. 10/8. -3/8
The difference is 7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:
x = cost of senior citizen ticket
y = cost of student ticket
4x + 5y = 102
7x + 5y = 126
4x + 5y = 102
4x = 102 - 5y
x = (102 - 5y)/4
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
7x + 5y = 126
7(102/4 - 5y/4) + 5y = 126
(714/4 - 35y/4) + 5y = 126
-35y/4 + 5y = 126 - 714/4
note:
-35y/4 = -8.75y
714/4 = 178.5
-8.75y + 5y = 126 - 178.5
-3.75y = -52.5
y = -52.5/-3.75
y = 14
x = 102/4 - 5y/4
x = 102/4 - 5(14)/4
x = 8
x = cost of senior citizen ticket = $8/ea
y = cost of student ticket = $14/ea
