write the following equation as a single fraction and simplify the answer as much as possible.
-(6a+5b)/(5a)+(2a-3b)/(2a) + 2
------
Note:: This is not an equation::
------
least common denominator:: 10a
-------
Convert each fraction::
-(12a+10b)/10a + (10a-15b)/10a + 20a/10a
------------
Combine the fractiions::
[-12a-10b+10a-15b+20a]/10a
-------------
Simplify::
[18a-25b]/10a
======================
