Hi,

41/8-35/6 the answer is 7/24 but how did they get there?

Using the common denominator of 24

 %2841%2F8%29%283%2F3%29++-+%2835%2F6%29%284%2F4%29+=++123%2F24+-+140%2F24+=+-17%2F24+



If I am understanding Your question Properly:

x =sqrt%2848%2A2%29+=+sqrt%2896%29+=+sqrt%2816%2A6%29+=+4sqrt%286%29
