Fill in the blanks!

Sure! Let's fill in the blanks based on the steps involved in simplifying the expression (5/6x + 1/9) - (4/9 - x).

1. Use the **distributive** property to remove grouping symbols.
2. Identify **like terms**.
3. Rewrite using properties of operations, if necessary.
4. **Combine like terms**.

So the completed sentences would read:

1. Use the **distributive** property to remove grouping symbols.
2. Identify **like terms**.
3. Rewrite using properties of operations, if necessary.
4. **Combine like terms**.

This approach leads us to the simplified form of the expression, which is \( \frac{11}{6}x - \frac{1}{3} \).
