PLEASE HELP

[tex]\dfrac 34(5a-16) - \dfrac 13(6a-3)\\\\=\dfrac{15a}4 - \dfrac{48}4 - 2a + 1\\\\=\dfrac{15a}4 -12-2a+1\\\\=\dfrac{15a}4 -2a -11\\\\=\dfrac{15a-8a-44}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{7a-44}4[/tex]
Answer:
1.75a - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember your order of operations, first you want to start inside the parantheses. Nothing can be simplified there so move on to multiplication.
Distribute (mutiply) ¾ with (5a - 16) as well as -⅓ with (6a - 3) to get
3.75a - 12 - 2a + 1
Combine like terms, so 3.75 with -2a as well as -12 with 1.
1.75a - 11
Which you could also write as
⁷⁄₄a - 11 or 1¾a - 11
