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

1 answer

To simplify the expression \( \frac{3}{4} + 3 - \frac{5}{6}r - 6 \), we can follow these steps:

  1. Combine the constant terms \( 3 \) and \( -6 \): \[ 3 - 6 = -3 \] So, the expression now looks like: \[ \frac{3}{4} - 3 - \frac{5}{6}r \]

  2. Now, combine \( \frac{3}{4} \) and \( -3 \). We can express \(-3\) with a denominator of 4: \[ -3 = -\frac{12}{4} \] Therefore, \[ \frac{3}{4} - 3 = \frac{3}{4} - \frac{12}{4} = \frac{3 - 12}{4} = \frac{-9}{4} \]

  3. Now, we substitute \( \frac{-9}{4} \) back into the expression with the term \(- \frac{5}{6}r\): \[ \frac{-9}{4} - \frac{5}{6}r \]

So, the simplified expression is:
\[ \frac{-9}{4} - \frac{5}{6}r \]

This is the most simplified form of the given expression.
