Simplify - 3/4 r + 3 - 5/6 * r - 6 (1 point)

Answer 1

To simplify the expression - 3/4r + 3 - 5/6r - 6, we can combine like terms.

First, let's combine the terms with 'r': -3/4r - 5/6r. To add these fractions, we need to find a common denominator of 4 and 6, which is 12. Now let's rewrite the fractions with the common denominator:

-3/4r = -9/12r
-5/6r = -10/12r

Next, let's combine the constant terms: 3 - 6. This gives us -3.

Putting it all together, we have:

-9/12r - 10/12r + 3 - 6

Now, let's combine the variable terms:

-9/12r - 10/12r = -19/12r

Finally, combining the constant terms:

-19/12r + 3 - 6 = -19/12r - 3

Therefore, the simplified expression is -19/12r - 3.
