Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

We are asked to add these 2 expressions.

First, we should know how to combine like terms.

What is combining like terms?

Combining like terms is adding 2 or more numbers, or variables that are alike.


-(4)/(5) t+(5)/(3) s \ + -3 - (7)/(5) s+2t=?

Let's first begin by combining s and t. We can combine like terms for these two variables.


-(4)/(5) t + 2t = (6)/(5) t \ \checkmark


(5)/(3) s \ + (7)/(5) s \\Which \ can \ also \ be \ represented \ as...\\(25)/(15) s \ - (21)/(15) s = (4)/(15) s \ \checkmark

-3 doesn't have any like terms, meaning it'll stay as -3.


(6)/(5) t + (4)/(15) s - 3

Therefore, our answers matches with Option A.
