Step 1.1

Factor $w$ out of $\frac{3}{4} w$ .

$w \frac{3}{4} - 1 w$

Step 1.2

Factor $w$ out of $- 1 w$ .

$w \frac{3}{4} + w \cdot - 1$

Step 1.3

Factor $w$ out of $w \frac{3}{4} + w \cdot - 1$ .

$w (\frac{3}{4} - 1)$

Step 2

To write $- 1$ as a fraction with a common denominator, multiply by $\frac{4}{4}$ .

$w (\frac{3}{4} - 1 \cdot \frac{4}{4})$

Step 3

Combine $- 1$ and $\frac{4}{4}$ .

$w (\frac{3}{4} + \frac{- 1 \cdot 4}{4})$

Step 4

Combine the numerators over the common denominator.

$w \frac{3 - 1 \cdot 4}{4}$
