What is the difference

Answer choices: 1 x-1/x 0 3/2

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

i'll tell you a shortcut..altough is method is not evergreen but for any obejective ques of this type..this'll always work give x any constant value and find the resultant e.g. lets put x=1 then we have 3/4 - (-1/4) =1 only 1 option matches..hence it should be your ans.. you can crosscheck also sometimes 2-3 options match,,thus you can always try with different values.. still if you wanna know the general solution,,i can tell that too..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you tell me the general solution? I'm a little confused

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

yep.. what if i ask 3/4x + 13/4x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16/4x ?

OpenStudy (shubhamsrg):

yep.. so what about (5x-2)/4x - (x-2)/4x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
