To simplify the expression, we first combine like terms.
\( \dfrac{9}{8}m - 2m = \dfrac{9}{8}m - \dfrac{16}{8}m = \dfrac{9-16}{8}m = -\dfrac{7}{8}m \)
Now, the expression becomes:
\( -\dfrac{7}{8}m + \dfrac{9}{10} - \dfrac{3}{5} \)
To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator for \( \dfrac{9}{10} \) and \( \dfrac{3}{5} \), which is 10 and multiply the first term by \( \dfrac{5}{5} \) and the second term by \( \dfrac{2}{2} \) to get the common denominator:
\( \dfrac{9}{10} = \dfrac{9 \times 1}{10 \times 1} = \dfrac{9}{10} \)
\( \dfrac{3}{5} = \dfrac{3 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \dfrac{6}{10} \)
Now, the expression becomes:
\( -\dfrac{7}{8}m + \dfrac{9}{10} - \dfrac{6}{10} \)
Combine the terms:
\( -\dfrac{7}{8}m + \dfrac{9-6}{10} = -\dfrac{7}{8}m + \dfrac{3}{10} \)
Therefore, the simplified expression is \( -\dfrac{7}{8}m + \dfrac{3}{10} \).
\dfrac{9}{8}m+\dfrac{9}{10}-2m-\dfrac{3}5
