Answer :

The expression is simplified to give -4( x + 37/2)

How to simplify the expression

Given the expression:

[tex](\frac{-3}{4}x - 8) - ( -17 + \frac{2}{8} x)[/tex]

With the knowledge of BODMAS, we solve the bracket

Find the LCM

[tex](\frac{-3x - 16}{4} ) - ( \frac{-136 + 2x}{8} )[/tex]

expand the bracket

[tex]\frac{-3x - 16}{4} + \frac{136 + 2x}{8}[/tex]

Find the LCM

[tex]\frac{2( -3x - 16) + 136 + 2x }{8}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-6x + 12 + 136 + 2x}{8}[/tex]

collect like terms

[tex]\frac{-4x + 148}{8}[/tex]

-4( x + 37/2)

Thus, the expression is simplified to give -4( x + 37/2)
