$$\frac { p + q } { 3 } + \frac { p - 2 q } { 5 }$$
Evaluate
$\frac{8p-q}{15}$
Short Solution Steps
To add or subtract expressions, expand them to make their denominators the same. Least common multiple of $3$ and $5$ is $15$. Multiply $\frac{p+q}{3}$ times $\frac{5}{5}$. Multiply $\frac{p-2q}{5}$ times $\frac{3}{3}$.
