Im doing combining like terms with rational coefficients and i have a problem that says 11/12 - 1/6q + 5/6q - 1/3

= 11/12 - 1/6q + 5/6q - 1/3
to add like terms, we must first convert 1/3 to a common denominator with 11/12

= 11/12 - 1/6q + 5/6q - 4/12
combine like terms

= (-1/6q + 5/6q) + (11/12 - 4/12)
add/subtract inside each parentheses

= 4/6q + 7/12
simplify 4/6 by 2

= 2/3q + 7/12

ANSWER: 2/3q + 7/12

Hope this helps! :)
