Question

What is the coefficient of q in the sum of (2/3q-3/4) and(-1/6q-r)?

Answer 1

Answer:

The coefficient is 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

sorry don't  have time to do it but it definitely is 1/2

Answer 2

Answer:

The coefficient is $\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given sum is

$(\frac{2}{3}q -\frac{3}{4})+(-\frac{1}{6}q-r)$

We can choose to add only the coeffients of $q$ or simplify the whole sum.

$=\frac{2}{3}q -\frac{1}{6}q-\frac{3}{4})-r)$

We collect the LCM for the $q$ terms;

$=\frac{4-1}{6}q-\frac{3}{4})-r)$

This will give us;

$=\frac{3}{6}q-\frac{3}{4})-r)$

Which is the same as

$=\frac{1}{2}q-r-\frac{3}{4}$

The coefficient is $\frac{1}{2}$
