Use this rule: \(a \times \frac{b}{c}=\frac{ab}{c}\).
\[\frac{\frac{5\times -51}{73}}{3}-\frac{-\frac{51}{73}-1}{4}\]
Simplify \(5\times -51\) to \(-255\).
\[\frac{\frac{-255}{73}}{3}-\frac{-\frac{51}{73}-1}{4}\]
Move the negative sign to the left.
\[\frac{-\frac{255}{73}}{3}-\frac{-\frac{51}{73}-1}{4}\]
Simplify \(-\frac{51}{73}-1\) to \(-\frac{124}{73}\).
\[\frac{-\frac{255}{73}}{3}-\frac{-\frac{124}{73}}{4}\]
Move the negative sign to the left.
\[-\frac{\frac{255}{73}}{3}-\frac{-\frac{124}{73}}{4}\]
Simplify \(\frac{\frac{255}{73}}{3}\) to \(\frac{255}{73\times 3}\).
\[-\frac{255}{73\times 3}-\frac{-\frac{124}{73}}{4}\]
Simplify \(73\times 3\) to \(219\).
\[-\frac{255}{219}-\frac{-\frac{124}{73}}{4}\]
Simplify \(\frac{255}{219}\) to \(\frac{85}{73}\).
\[-\frac{85}{73}-\frac{-\frac{124}{73}}{4}\]
Move the negative sign to the left.
\[-\frac{85}{73}-(-\frac{\frac{124}{73}}{4})\]
Simplify \(\frac{\frac{124}{73}}{4}\) to \(\frac{124}{73\times 4}\).
\[-\frac{85}{73}-(-\frac{124}{73\times 4})\]
Simplify \(73\times 4\) to \(292\).
\[-\frac{85}{73}-(-\frac{124}{292})\]
Simplify \(\frac{124}{292}\) to \(\frac{31}{73}\).
\[-\frac{85}{73}-(-\frac{31}{73})\]
Remove parentheses.
\[-\frac{85}{73}+\frac{31}{73}\]
Simplify.
\[-\frac{54}{73}\]
