Solution Steps

To simplify the given expression, we need to combine like terms. The terms involving \( m^3 \) can be combined together, and the constant term can be simplified separately.

Solution Approach
  1. Identify and combine the like terms involving \( m^3 \).
  2. Simplify the constant term \( 2 \frac{3}{4} \) to a decimal or improper fraction.
  3. Combine the results to get the simplified expression.
Step 1: Combine Like Terms

First, identify and combine the like terms in the expression. The given expression is:

\[ 7m^3 + 2\frac{3}{4} - 6m^3 \]

The like terms here are \(7m^3\) and \(-6m^3\).

Step 2: Simplify the Like Terms

Combine the like terms \(7m^3\) and \(-6m^3\):

\[ 7m^3 - 6m^3 = (7 - 6)m^3 = 1m^3 = m^3 \]

Step 3: Simplify the Constant Term

The constant term in the expression is \(2\frac{3}{4}\). Convert the mixed number to an improper fraction:

\[ 2\frac{3}{4} = \frac{2 \times 4 + 3}{4} = \frac{8 + 3}{4} = \frac{11}{4} \]

Final Answer

Combine the simplified terms:

\[ m^3 + \frac{11}{4} \]

Thus, the simplified expression is:

\[ \boxed{m^3 + \frac{11}{4}} \]
