Answer 2

Answer:

The equivalent expression to the given expression is:

                    $-4.4c+1.1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given an algebraic equation in terms of the variable c as follows:

                          $-5.8c+4.2-3.1+1.4c$

Now, we will first combine the like term i.e. the terms with the same variable term and the constant terms are combined altogether i.e. the expression is given as follows:

        $-5.8c+4.2-3.1+1.4c=-5.8c+1.4c+4.2-3.1$

On simplifying this expression we get :

                  $-5.8c+4.2-3.1+1.4c=-4.4c+1.1$
