Answer
(3x/4) - 9
[tex]\frac{3x}{4}-9[/tex]Explanation
We are told to subtract (¼x + 5) from (x - 4)
We just simply do this step by step
(x - 4) - (¼x + 5)
[tex]\begin{gathered} (x-4)-(\frac{1}{4}x+5) \\ =x-4-\frac{1}{4}x-5 \\ =x-\frac{x}{4}-4-5 \\ =\frac{4x}{4}-\frac{x}{4}-9 \\ =\frac{4x-x}{4}-9 \\ =\frac{3x}{4}-9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hope this Helps!!!
