Question

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. Enter any coefficients as simplified proper or improper fractions or integers. − 2 3 � + 1 5 − 1 + 5 6 � − 3 2 ​ p+ 5 1 ​ −1+ 6 5 ​ p

Answer 1

Combining like terms, we get:

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

Simplifying the coefficients, we get:

(-10/15 + 18/15) + (5/6 - 6/6) + (5/1 - 1/1) + (12/10 - 15/10)p

Combining like terms again, we get:

8/15 + (-1/6) + (4/1) + (-3/10)p

Simplifying, we get:

(-3/10)p + 73/30
