Answer:
-(1/10)x
Explanation:
This is an addition problem. Since the variable (x) is the same in both terms, we need only sum up the coefficients -3/5 and 1/2 and then multiply x by this sum.
-3/5x+1/2x = (-3/5 + 1/2)x
The LCD of -3/5 and 1/2 is 10. The -3/5 term converts to -6/10 and the 1/2 term to 5/10. Thus, we have (-6/10 + 5/10)x = -(1/10)x
