To simplify the expression \((3/4x - 1) + (3/4x - 2)\), we start by combining like terms.
-
Combine the \(3/4x\) terms: \[ 3/4x + 3/4x = 2 \cdot (3/4x) = \frac{6}{4}x = \frac{3}{2}x \]
-
Combine the constant terms \(-1\) and \(-2\): \[ -1 - 2 = -3 \]
Now, we can combine these results: \[ \frac{3}{2}x - 3 \]
So, the simplified expression is: \[ \frac{3}{2}x - 3 \]
