Question

Simplify

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

Answer 1

To simplify the expression, we can combine like terms:

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

First, let's simplify the r terms:

- (18/24) r - (20/24) r

This can be simplified to:

- (18 - 20)/24 r

Which becomes:

- (-2)/24 r

Now, let's simplify the constant terms:

3 - 6 = -3

Now we can combine the simplified terms:

- (-2)/24 r - 3

This can be further simplified by dividing both the numerator and denominator of the fraction by 2:

- (-1)/12 r - 3

Therefore, the simplified expression is - (1/12) r - 3.
