OpenStudy (welshfella):

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

OpenStudy (welshfella):

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

OpenStudy (welshfella):

I have trouble with the equation editor and Latex thats why i dont use them

OpenStudy (welshfella):

now you can work out + 9/10 - 3/5 by converting the 3/4 to something / 10 - can you do that?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* converting the 3/5

OpenStudy (welshfella):

to convert 3/5 to 10th's multiply the top of the fraction and the bottom by 2
