Question

Combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. 2/5m-4/5-3/5m

Answer 1

The equivalent expression of $\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}m$ is $\frac{-1}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to combine like terms to create an equivalent expression. The given expression is: $\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}m$

Like terms:

Like terms are those terms that have the same variables and same exponents.

In the given expression 2/5 m and -3/5 m are like terms.

Combining like terms:

$\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}m$

$=\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{3}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}$

$=\frac{2-3}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}$

$=\frac{-1}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}$

The equivalent expression of $\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}m$ is $\frac{-1}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}$
