11/14 minus what is equal to 4/14

11/14 minus 7/14 is equal to 4/14.

First you need to set up an equation. We want to know what the numerator is because the denominator does not change.

11/14 - X/14 = 4/14

Because all the known denominators are the same, we can drop the numerators.

11 - X = 4

Now just shift the equation around until X is by itself

11 - x = 4

11 = 4 + x

11 - 4 = x

7 = x

x = 7

Your answer should be 7/14, or 1/2
