Answer 2

*Answer*

20-48+21



*Explanation*

Find the LCD to remove the lower number for each term

in this case 6 and 8 hhave a multiple of 24 so multiply everything by 24

Here’s a walk through for each term
5/6(24)

So first you can divide 24 by 6 which is 4, than multiply 4 by the higher number with gets 20

For -2 just multiply this by 24 since it’s not being divided
-2(24)=-48

For 7/8 divide 24 by 8 which gets you 3, than multiply this by 7 to get 21
