How do I factor out the coefficient in a question like 3/4n - 3/2

Answer 1

You simply need to divide both terms by 3/4. I assume this problem is written as (3/4)n not 3/(4n)

Term 1: 3/4n divided by 3/4 = n

Term 2: 3/2 divided by 3/4 is the same as multiplying by 4/3, which is 12/6 which is 2.

So the answer would look like 3/4(n -2)
