To simplify, we combine like terms.
So, we have:
(-3/4r - 5/6r) + (3 - 6)
To combine the terms with r, we need to find a common denominator. The common denominator for 4 and 6 is 12.
So, we multiply -3/4r by 3/3 to get -9/12r, and multiply -5/6r by 2/2 to get -10/12r.
Now the expression becomes:
(-9/12r - 10/12r) + (3 - 6)
Adding the terms with r, we get:
(-9/12r - 10/12r) = (-19/12r)
Now the expression becomes:
(-19/12r) + (3 - 6)
Subtracting 6 from 3, we get:
(-19/12r) + (-3)
To combine these terms, we find a common denominator of 12, and we multiply -3 by 12/12 to get -36/12.
Now the expression becomes:
(-19/12r) + (-36/12)
Adding these terms, we get:
(-19/12r - 36/12) = -55/12
So, the simplified expression is -55/12.
Simplify −3/4r + 3 − 5/6r − 6 .
