Hey there! :)


2(3/5n + 3) - (2/3n - 1)


Simplify.


(2 * 3/5n) + (2 * 3) - (2/3n -1)


Simplify.


6/5n + 6 - 2/3n + 1


Add like terms.


(6/5n - 2/3n) + (6 + 1)


Make the fractions have the same denominator by multiplying fraction 1 (6/5n) by 3/3 and fraction 2 (-2/3n) by 5/5.


6/5n * 3/3 = 18/15n


-2/3n * 5/5 = -10/15n


So, our new equation looks like this : (18/15n - 10/15n) + (6 + 1)


Simplify.


8/15n + 6 —> final answer.


Hope this helped! :)

Hey there!


In order to solve this equation we have to distribute the negative symbols


So the subtraction symbol in the center of the equation becomes a addition symbol but the 1 is a negative



2((3)/(5) n +3 ) + -1 ((2)/(3)n-1) \\ \\ 2((3)/(5) n+3)-1((2)/(3)n) + -1(-1 ) \\ \\ 2((3)/(5)n +3) + (-2)/(3) +1


We can distribute in the normal method now!



2((3)/(5) n) +2(3)+ (-2)/(3)n+` \\ \\ \\ 2((3)/(5) n) = (6)/(5)n \\ \\ \\ 2(3) = 6 \\ \\ \\ = (6)/(5)n + 6 + (-2)/(3) + 1


Next, combine your like values (like terms)



(6)/(5) n +6 + (-2)/(3)n +1 \\ \\ \\ \\ (6)/(5)n + (-2)/(3)n + (6 +1)


Solving for our result



(6)/(5)n + (-2)/(3) n = (8)/(15) \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ 6 + 1 = 7


Therefore your answer would most likely be:
(8)/(15) + 7


Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
