Answer:
[tex]\frac{31x - 159}{168y}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find a common denominator between 7y, 8y, and 6y. And the smallest common denominator is 336y, which I got by multiplying 7*8*6 and since they all share y, we can just keep the y without multiplying it.
Now, we need to multiply each fraction by the correct number on the top and bottom to reach 336. When we do this, we get [tex]\frac{x-4}{7y} (\frac{48}{48} ) - \frac{x+7}{8y}(\frac{42}{42}) + \frac{x+3}{6y}(\frac{56}{56})[/tex]. OMG. Well, now we need to expand the numerators...[tex]\frac{48x - 192}{336y} - \frac{42x + 294}{336y} + \frac{56x + 168}{336y} = \frac{62x - 318}{336y}[/tex]. Another OMG. But now we need to simplify...so we get [tex]\frac{31x - 159}{168y}[/tex]. Done.
Hope this helps! :)
