Answer 2

Answer:

Option 2nd , 4th and 6th correct

$-2b$, $\frac{b}{12}$ and $-0.9b$

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are those terms which have same variable to the same power.

Given the expression:

$\frac{5}{6}a-2b-16.3+\frac{b}{12}+c-0.9b$

Combine like terms;

$\frac{5}{6}a+b(-2+\frac{1}{12}-0.9}-16.3+c$

Simplify:

$\frac{5}{6}a-2.81666667b-16.3+c$

Therefore, the  term can be combined in the given expression is,

$-2b$, $\frac{b}{12}$ and $-0.9b$
