We need to simplify the following expression
[tex]\frac{3}{4}m^3+8-\frac{1}{2}m^3[/tex]We first group the similar terms, they are the first and the third one
[tex](\frac{3}{4}m^3-\frac{1}{2}m^3)+8[/tex]then we use common factor to take out the m^3 of the parenthesis
[tex]m^3(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2})+8=\frac{1}{4}m^3+8=4(m^3+2)^{}[/tex]
