Let's simplify the expression step by step:
4 7/32x - (3 3/4x - 1 7/32x)
First, we convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions:
4 7/32x = (4 * 32 + 7) / 32x = 135/32x 3 3/4x = (3 * 4 + 3) / 4x = 15/4x 1 7/32x = (1 * 32 + 7) / 32x = 39/32x
Now our expression looks like:
135/32x - (15/4x - 39/32x)
Next, we simplify what's inside the parentheses by finding a common denominator, which is 32 in this case:
15/4x can be converted to a fraction with a denominator of 32 by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 8:
15/4x = (15 * 8) / (4 * 8)x = 120/32x
Now we have:
135/32x - (120/32x - 39/32x)
Simplify the expression inside the parentheses:
135/32x - (120/32x - 39/32x) = 135/32x - (120/32 - 39/32)x 135/32x - ((120 - 39) / 32)x = 135/32x - (81/32)x
Now subtract the two fractions:
135/32x - 81/32x = (135 - 81) / 32x = 54/32x
Finally, we simplify the fraction:
54/32 can be simplified by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2:
54/32 = (54 ÷ 2) / (32 ÷ 2) = 27/16x
So the simplified expression is:
27/16x
