You can put this solution on YOUR website!
By answer you must mean - "How do I simplify this?"
+%281%2F4%29%2A%2812x+-+8%29+=++%281%2F4%29%2A12x+-+%281%2F4%29%2A8+
+3x+-+2+
You can always check anything like this by plugging in
whatever number you want for x, like +x+=+11
+%281%2F4%29%2A%2812%2A11+-+8%29+=++%281%2F4%29%2A%28132+-+8%29+
+%281%2F4%29%2A124+=+31+
and,
+3%2A11+-+2+=+31+
OK
