Like it is stated, combine like terms. In case you don't know what that means, then the question is essentially asking for you to add/subtract etc. expressions from each other that have the same variable.


Given: -(2)/(3) a + (5)/(6)a - (1)/(6) \\\\


Note: -(2)/(3)a = -(4)/(6)a


-(4)/(6)a + (5)/(6)a - (1)/(6) = \\\\(1)/(6)a - (1)/(6) \\

So,
(1)/(6)a - (1)/(6) is the new and equivalent expression. We cannot do anything further because there are no like terms.
