Full solution

Q. Simplify. Express your answer as a single fraction in simplest form. \newline34pq4\frac{3}{4} - \frac{pq}{4}
  1. Identify common denominator: 34pq4\frac{3}{4} - \frac{pq}{4}\newlineIdentify the common denominator, which is 44.
  2. Combine fractions: 34pq4\frac{3}{4} - \frac{pq}{4}\newlineCombine the fractions over the common denominator.\newline3pq4\frac{3 - pq}{4}
  3. Check for further simplification: (3pq)/4(3 - pq)/4\newlineCheck if the numerator can be simplified further. Since 33 and pqpq are not like terms, they cannot be combined or factored further.
