Question..

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression.

½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓

½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓ is equivalent to ⅔q + ⅙

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓

Required

Equivalence

½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓

We start by collecting like terms.

⅚q - ⅙q + ½ - ⅓

Factorize

(⅚ - ⅙)q + ½ - ⅓

((5 - 1)/6)q + ½ - ⅓

(4/6)q + ½ - ⅓

Reduce 4/6 to lowest term

⅔q + ½ - ⅓

Evaluate fraction

⅔q + (3 - 2)/6

⅔q + ⅙

Hence, ½ −⅙q +⅚q - ⅓ is equivalent to ⅔q + ⅙
