Answer:

20%

Step-by-step explanation:

so to become a percentage, you should multiply by 100% (which is basically 100/100 but don't multiply the bottom instead you write a percent sign)

So 1/5*100/100 without multiplying the bottom is:

100/5%

100 divided by 5 is 20. There you go! And you can use a calculator if that is easier for you. All you do is 1/5 which is .20 and your answer is 20%! Hope this helps!

Which expressionis equal to (-7x+5.1y)-(-9x+5.3y)

Furkat [3]

Answer:

The simplified expression for the given expression will be:

c. $2x-0.2y$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression:

$(-7x+5.1y)-(-9x+5.3y)$

To simplify the expression.

Solution:

In order to simplify the expression, we will first remove the parenthesis by reversing the signs of the terms inside the parenthesis which lies after a negative sign out side the parenthesis.

<em>This is because negative multiplies to a negative to give a positive and negative multiplies to a positive to give a negative.</em>

So, we have:

⇒ $-7x+5.1y+9x-5.3y$
