Question

Simplify −3/4r + 3 − 5/6r − 6.(1 point)

Answer 1

not as a mixed number

Answer 2

Expand 8(3p + 2).(1 point)

Answer 3

To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms:

-3/4r - 5/6r + 3 - 6

To combine the r terms, we need to find a common denominator. The smallest common multiple of 4 and 6 is 12. So we convert the fractions with denominators of 4 and 6 to fractions with denominators of 12:

-3/4r - (5/6r)(2/2) + 3 - 6
= -3/4r - 10/12r + 3 - 6

Now we can combine the r terms:

= (-3/4 - 10/12) r + 3 - 6

To combine the numerical values, we subtract 6 from 3:

= (-3/4 - 10/12) r - 3

Next, we need to find a common denominator for the fractions:

= (-9/12 - 10/12) r - 3

Now we can combine the fractions:

= (-19/12) r -3

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

Answer 4

Apologies for the mistake. The simplified expression, without using a mixed number, is -19r/12 - 3.
