4b + 5d - c
———————————
     a 

There are three terms in the top, so draw three lines

                
————   ————   ——— 
                 
Put the signs of the terms in between the lines

                   
———— + ———— - ——— 
                  
Put the three terms in the numerators

 4b     5d     c
———— + ———— - ——— 
                    
Copy the same denominator under each fraction

 4b     5d     c
———— + ———— - ——— 
  a      a     a

It won't simplify so you're done.
