Multiple Choice

A telecommunications engineer is documenting signal attenuation across two different fiber-optic segments. The loss per kilometer (xx) for the first segment is −10x-\frac{10}{x} and for the second segment is −4x-\frac{4}{x}. According to the standard common-denominator rule, which of the following represents the total simplified signal loss, −10x−4x-\frac{10}{x} - \frac{4}{x}?
