Question..
Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓
Answer:
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓ is equivalent to ⅔q + ⅙
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓
Required
Equivalence
½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓
We start by collecting like terms.
⅚q - ⅙q + ½ - ⅓
Factorize
(⅚ - ⅙)q + ½ - ⅓
((5 - 1)/6)q + ½ - ⅓
(4/6)q + ½ - ⅓
Reduce 4/6 to lowest term
⅔q + ½ - ⅓
Evaluate fraction
⅔q + (3 - 2)/6
⅔q + ⅙
Hence, ½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓ is equivalent to ⅔q + ⅙

Answer:

Explanation:
In the first example the division results in a radical, not a polynomial.
The remaining examples are not counter-examples (they do result in a polynomial)
Simplify step-by-step.
9m−7m+2m
=9m+−7m+2m
Combine Like Terms:
=9m+−7m+2m
=(9m+−7m+2m)
=4m
