| ① | $$ 515 g \cdot 2 = 1030 g $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ \color{blue}{3g} \color{blue}{-1030g} = \color{blue}{-1027g} $$ |
| ③ | Multiply $20$ by $ \dfrac{g}{6} $ to get $ \dfrac{ 20g }{ 6 } $. Step 1: Write $ 20 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{1} $ in the denominator. Step 2: Multiply numerators and denominators. Step 3: Simplify numerator and denominator. $$ \begin{aligned} 20 \cdot \frac{g}{6} & \xlongequal{\text{Step 1}} \frac{20}{\color{red}{1}} \cdot \frac{g}{6} \xlongequal{\text{Step 2}} \frac{ 20 \cdot g }{ 1 \cdot 6 } = \\[1ex] & \xlongequal{\text{Step 3}} \frac{ 20g }{ 6 } \end{aligned} $$ |
| ④ | Add $-1027g$ and $ \dfrac{20g}{6} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -6142g } }{ 6 }$. Step 1: Write $ -1027g $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
