Question

PLEASE HELP, I UNDERSTAND BUT DONT UNDERSTAND

Answer 1

(7/12) + (4q/6)

Explanation:

`(11)/(12) - (1)/(6) q + (5)/(6) q - (1)/(3) \\ = (11)/(12) + (4)/(6) q - (1)/(3) \\ = (11)/(12) - (1)/(3) + (4)/(6) q \\ = (11)/(12) - (4)/(12) + (4)/(6) q \\ = (7)/(12) + (4)/(6) q`

Answer 2

Explanation:

Like terms have same variable with same power.

(11/12 and 1/3 are like terms) & (-1q/6 & 5q/6 are like terms}

`(11)/(12)-(1)/(6)q+(5)/(6)q-(1)/(3)=((11)/(12)-(1)/(3))-(1)/(6)q+(5)/(6)q\\\\=((11)/(12)-(1*4)/(3*4))+[(-1+5)/(6)]q\\\\=((11)/(12)-(4)/(12))+(4)/(6)q\\\\=((11-4))/(12)q+(4)/(6)q\\\\=(7)/(12)+(4)/(6)q`
