-5/6a - 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to to simplify the linear expression you must combine like terms.

"like terms" are terms whose variables and exponents are the same. for example 2x and x are like terms. In this case, -2/3a and -1/6a are like terms as they have the same variable (a) and exponent (1). -2/3a - 1/6a = -4/6a - 1/6a = -5/6a

Next, we combine the constants 1/8 and -3/4. 1/8 - 3/4 is the same as 1/8 - 6/8 which is equal to -5/8. Therefore the final simplified linear expression is -5/6a -5/8.
