Answer:
2/3x -1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
It might be easier to start off by multiplying the expression by 12.
p = 5/6x-5/12x-1/3+1/4x+1/12 . . . . . . . we have named the expression "p"
12p = 10x -5x -4 +3x +1 . . . . . . . . clear fractions
12p = x(10 -5 +3) +(-4 +1) . . . . collect terms
12p = 8x -3
Now, we can divide by 12 and reduce the fractions.
p = 8/12x -3/12 = 2/3x -1/4
