Subtract 1/6a + 3 from 1/3a - 5

-1/6a + 8

1/6a - 8

-1/6a - 2

1/6a - 2

⅙a - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

                                               (⅓a - 5) - (⅙a + 3)

Distributive property:          = ⅓a - 5 - ⅙a - 3

Associative property:          = (⅓a - ⅙a) - 5  - 3  

Simplification:                      = (⅓a - ⅙a) - 8

Distributive property:          = a(⅓ - ⅙) - 8

LCM of denominators:        = a(²/₆ - ⅙) - 8

Subtract numerators:         = a(⅙) -8

Commutative property:      = ⅙a - 8

the final price would be 29.6925

step-by-step explanation:

39.59 minus 25% equals 29.6925
