Question

Please help me with this, thanks :’)Please provide step-by-step explanation if possible

Answer 1

Simplify the expression.

`\begin{gathered} -(2)/(3)p+(1)/(5)-1+(5)/(6)p=-(2)/(3)p+(5)/(6)p+(1)/(5)-1 \\ =(-2\cdot2p+5p)/(6)+(1-1\cdot5)/(5) \\ =(-4p+5p)/(6)+(1-5)/(5) \\ =(1)/(6)p-(4)/(5) \end{gathered}`

So equivalent expression is,

`(1)/(6)p-(4)/(5)`
