Answer: =−5x+5/6

Explanation:

Your equation:

−6x+8/6-3/2x-1/2+5/2x

Gather all the numbers with the x variable:

-6x - (3/2x) = -7 1/2x

-7 1/2x + (5/2x) = -5x

-5x is the answer to your first part.

Finally, gather all the numbers without the x variable.

(8/6) - (1/2) = 5/6

This makes your answer into -5x+5/6 ! Hope this helps :D
