You can put this solution on YOUR website!
First, get each term as a single fraction
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%287%2B%281%2F4%29%29+-+%282+%2B+%283%2F4%29%29\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2828%2F4+%2B+1%2F4%29+-+%288%2F4+%2B+3%2F4%29+\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"29%2F4+-+11%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Since the two terms are both over the same denominator (4), you can combine them
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%2829-11%29%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18%2F4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Now simplify
\n" ); document.write( " $\"9%2F2\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
