using communitive property
%281%2F3x+-3%2F4%29+%2B+%285%2F6x+%2B+1%2F8%29
%28%281%2F%283x%29%29+%2B+%285%2F%286x%29%29%29%2B%28%28-3%2F4%29+%2B+%281%2F8%29%29 multiply bya common 1 to make denominators same
%28%282%2F%286x%29%29+%2B+%285%2F%286x%29%29%29%2B%28%28-6%2F8%29+%2B+%281%2F8%29%29 add fractions
%287%2F%286x%29%29%2B%28-5%2F8%29 multiply by a 1/1 to get 8(6x) in denominator
%288%2F8%29%287%2F%286x%29%29%2B%286x%2F6x%29%28-5%2F8%29
%2856%2F48x%29%2B%28-30x%2F48x%29
%2856-30x%29%2F%2848x%29 this can be reduced
%2828-15x%29%2F%2824x%29it can be left like this or
28%2F24x-15x%2F24x
%287%2F6x%29-%285%2F8%29 or left previously this way i dont know which way you need it
