Question
Simplify:
Solution
\[\frac{5}{6} + \frac{- 2}{5} - \frac{- 2}{15}\]
\[\text{Taking the L . C . M .} \hspace{0.167em} \text{of the denominators:} \]
\[\frac{25}{30} + \frac{- 12}{30} - \frac{- 4}{30}\]
\[ = \frac{25 + ( - 12) - ( - 4)}{30}\]
\[ = \frac{25 - 12 + 4}{30}\]
\[ = \frac{17}{30}\]
