Question

(2/3q – 3/4) and (–1/6q – r) What is the coefficient of q in the sum of these two expressions?

Answer 1

Answer:

The co-efficient of q in sum of the given expression is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expressions are $\frac {2}{3q}-\frac {3}{4}$ and  $\frac{-1}{6q}-r$

Now sum the given expression

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

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

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

Here the co-efficient q is 2      (since$\frac{1}{q} = \frac{1}{2}$  )
