Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{6}$ p - $\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

collect like terms

- $\frac{2}{3}$ p + $\frac{5}{6}$ p + $\frac{1}{5}$ - 1

= - $\frac{2(2)}{2(3)}$ p + $\frac{5}{6}$ p + $\frac{1}{5}$ - $\frac{5}{5}$

= - $\frac{4}{6}$ p + $\frac{5}{6}$ p - $\frac{4}{5}$

= $\frac{1}{6}$ p - $\frac{4}{5}$
