Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{8}x-11[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]-\frac{3}{8}x-2+\frac{1}{2}x-9[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{3}{8}x-2+\frac{4}{8}x-9[/tex] (find common denominator. [tex]\frac{1}{2} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{4}{8}[/tex] )
[tex]\frac{1}{8}x-11[/tex] (add like terms. [tex]-\frac{3}{8}x + \frac{4}{8}x = \frac{1}{8}x[/tex] and -2 + (-9) = -11 )
