re write it like this:
x-x+11/4 - 2/4 =
then x-x=0 so...
11/4 - 2/4 = 9/4 or 2 1/4 or 2.25
hope this helps

x + 11/4 - x - 2/4. The x's cancel, and the fractions add up to 9/4, which is what you have left.

You need to combine like terms. x and -x are added to equal 0. 11/4 and -2/4 are added to equal 9/4. 0 + 9/4 = 9/4.

with a positive and negative x, you can simplify by getting rid of the x
x-x = zero so that comes out to zero
.you have 11/4 minus 2/4 then, which turns out to be 9/4.
so your thing simplifies to 9/4
