Question

5/6x - 3 - ( 2/3x + 12 )

Answer 1

5/6x - 3 - ( 2/3x + 12 )

`(5)/(6)x-3-((2)/(3)x+12)`

step 1

REmove the parenthesis

`(5)/(6)x-3-(2)/(3)x-12`

step 2

Combine like terms

`\begin{gathered} (5)/(6)x-(2)/(3)x-3-12 \\ (1)/(6)x-15 \\ rememberthat(2)/(3)=4/6 \end{gathered}`

therefore

the answer is (1/6)x-15
