Question

Perform the indicated operation. Be sure the answer is reduced.

2a+1/3a + 5/4 - 2a-3/6a^2
A 23a^2 + 6/12a^2
B -23a^2 + 6/12a^2
C 23a^2 - 6/12a^2

Answer 1

A 23a^2 + 6/12a^2

Explanation:

2a+1/3a + 5/4 -2a-3/6a^2

=4(2a+1)+15a/12a - 2a-3/6a^2

=a(8a+4+15a^2)-{2(2a-3)}/12a^2

=8a^2+4a+15a^2-4a+6/12a^2

=23a^2+6/12a^2
