Question

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. -6/5-2/3v+4/15+1/3v

Answer 1

-14/15 - 1/3v

Explanation:

-6/5 -2/3v + 4/15 + 1/3v

= -6/5 + 4/15 - 1/3v

————————————

to allow -6/5 to be added to 4/15, you have to make the denominators the same by multiplying -6/5 by 3/3

-6/5(3/3) = -18/15

-18/15 + 4/15 - 1/3v

= -14/15 - 1/3v
