Combine like terms to simplify the expression.
\[\frac{ 7 }{ 8 }m+\frac{ 9 }{ 10 }-2m-\frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\]
umm well take it one step at a time \[\frac{ 9 }{ 10 } - \frac{ 3 }{ 5 }\]

bring all like terms together you have 2 types here - terms in m and numbers so we have (7/8) m - 2m + 9 /10 - 3/5
to work out the terms in m first calculate 7/8 - 2 which by making everything in denominator 8 is 7/8 - 16/8 = -9/8 so the first 2 terms work out to (-9/8) m or -9 m -- 8
I have trouble with the equation editor and Latex thats why i dont use them
now you can work out + 9/10 - 3/5 by converting the 3/4 to something / 10 - can you do that?
* converting the 3/5
to convert 3/5 to 10th's multiply the top of the fraction and the bottom by 2
