Answer:

-2a + 3b

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you need to simplify the expression, you need to combine like terms. 3a and -5a are like terms because they both have the variable a. 3a + -5a equals -2a. 2b + b equals 3b. Since b would equal 1. If you combine them together, you get -2a + 3b.

Hope this helps!!

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

or, 3x/4 - 7/8 = 7/8
