Distribute the fractions: $\frac{1}{3}(6x - 3) = 2x - 1$ and $\frac{1}{7}(63x - 8y) = 9x - \frac{8}{7}y$. Subtract the second expression from the first: $(2x - 1) - (9x - \frac{8}{7}y) = -7x + \frac{8}{7}y - 1$.

Simplify - 13(6x−3)−17(63x−8y)\frac { 1 } { 3 } ( 6 x - 3 ) - \frac { 1 } { 7 } ( 63 x - 8 y )31​(6x−3)−71​(63x−8y)

Simplify
- $\frac { 1 } { 3 } ( 6 x - 3 ) - \frac { 1 } { 7 } ( 63 x - 8 y )$
