Question 1024464

I need to be able to help a student learn how to simplify and algebraic expression that includes fractions, however i am unsure how to do it myself-

the equation looks like this-

8/10(3/2 - 8b) + 3b -5m
<pre>If this is: {{{(8/10)(3/2 - 8b) + 3b - 5m}}}, we get:
{{{(4/5)(3/2 - 8b) + 3b - 5m}}}
{{{(4/5) * (3/2) + (4/5) * (- 8b) + 3b - 5m}}}
{{{(2cross(4)/5) * (3/cross(2)) - (32b/5) + 3b - 5m}}}
{{{(6/5) - (32b/5) + 3b - 5m}}}
{{{(6 - 32b + 15b - 25m)/5}}} ------- Multiplying by LCD, 5
{{{highlight_green((- 17b - 25m + 6)/5))}}} ------ Correct answer.
