Because you cannot subtract 3/4 from 1/4.
- 3 - 4 = ? or - 3 + (-4) = ?- 3 - 4 = ?- 3 - 4 = - 7Answer = - 7Minus and to Subtract are techincally the same.- 3 - 4 = - 3 + (-4)
3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

7/12 - 1/4 = 7/12 - 3/12 = 4/12 = 1/3.
Because you cannot subtract 3/4 from 1/4.
You can either convert the decimal to a fraction and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4), OR you can convert the fraction to a decimal and then subtract (3/4 - 0.5 = 0.75 - 0.5 = 0.25).
Subtract the numerator Subtract or add the numerator Subtract or add the numerator ex: 3/4-1/4=2/4 or 1/2 ex: 5/8 + 1/8= 6/8 or 3/4
You add up 4,3 and 4 and then you subtract that by eight
you add 3 and 4 then subtract 1
3x + 4 = 2x - 3 Subtract 2x from both sides: x + 4 = - 3 Subtract 4 from both sides: x = -7
