Write $- 6 f$ as a fraction with denominator $1$ .

$\frac{6 f \cdot 4}{5 \cdot 4} + \frac{11 f \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} + \frac{- 6 f}{1}$

Multiply $\frac{- 6 f}{1}$ by $\frac{20}{20}$ .

$\frac{6 f \cdot 4}{5 \cdot 4} + \frac{11 f \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} + \frac{- 6 f}{1} \cdot \frac{20}{20}$

Multiply $\frac{- 6 f}{1}$ by $\frac{20}{20}$ .

$\frac{6 f \cdot 4}{5 \cdot 4} + \frac{11 f \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} + \frac{- 6 f \cdot 20}{20}$

Reorder the factors of $5 \cdot 4$ .

$\frac{6 f \cdot 4}{4 \cdot 5} + \frac{11 f \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} + \frac{- 6 f \cdot 20}{20}$

Multiply $4$ by $5$ .

$\frac{6 f \cdot 4}{20} + \frac{11 f \cdot 5}{4 \cdot 5} + \frac{- 6 f \cdot 20}{20}$

Multiply $4$ by $5$ .

$\frac{6 f \cdot 4}{20} + \frac{11 f \cdot 5}{20} + \frac{- 6 f \cdot 20}{20}$

Step 5
