To simplify the expression \( m + 15 - \frac{2}{3}m \), we can combine the like terms involving \( m \). 1. Combine \( m \) and \(-\frac{2}{3}m\): \[ m - \frac{2}{3}m = \frac{3}{3}m - \frac{2}{3}m = \frac{1}{3}m \] 2. Now add the constant \( 15 \): \[ \frac{1}{3}m + 15 \] So, the simplified expression is: \[ \frac{1}{3}m + 15 \]

m+15- 2/3m

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( m + 15 - \frac{2}{3}m \), we can combine the like terms involving \( m \).

Combine \( m \) and \(-\frac{2}{3}m\):

\[ m - \frac{2}{3}m = \frac{3}{3}m - \frac{2}{3}m = \frac{1}{3}m \]
Now add the constant \( 15 \):

\[ \frac{1}{3}m + 15 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ \frac{1}{3}m + 15 \]
