[tex] \underline{\bf \huge \: \: Question:}[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: −5/3a+1/8-1/6a-1/2[/tex]
We need to simplify the expression.
[tex]\underline{ \bf \: \bf \Huge Solution:}[/tex]
[tex] \sf \longmapsto \dfrac{ - 5}{3} a + \dfrac{1}{8} + \dfrac{ - 1}{6} a + \dfrac{ - 1}{2} [/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \dfrac{ - 5}{3} a + \dfrac{1}{8} + \dfrac{ - 1}{6} a + \dfrac{ - 1}{2} [/tex]
[tex] \underline{\bf \: C ombining\: Like \: terms:}[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \bigg(\dfrac{ - 5}{3} a + \dfrac{ - 1}{6} a \bigg) + \bigg( \dfrac{1}{8} + \dfrac{ - 1}{2} \bigg)[/tex]
[tex] \bf \: On \: Simplification:[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \bigg(\dfrac{ - 10}{6}a + \dfrac{ - 1}{6} a\bigg)+\bigg( \dfrac{1}{8} + \dfrac{ - 1}{2}\bigg) [/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \bigg(\dfrac{ - 10 - 1}{6} a \bigg) + \bigg( \dfrac{1}{8} + \dfrac{ -4 }{8} \bigg)[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \bigg(\dfrac{ - 11}{6}a \bigg)+ \bigg(\dfrac{1(-4)}{8}\bigg)[/tex]
[tex]\sf \longmapsto \: \dfrac{ - 11}{6} a + \dfrac{ - 3}{8} [/tex]
______________________________________
[tex] \underline{\bf \: Henceforth,The\: simplified \: form \: is:} [/tex]
[tex] \boxed{\boxed{\huge \dfrac{ - 11}{6} a + \dfrac{ - 3}{8} }}[/tex]
