Can someone pls help me / alguien me puede ayudar

Answer 1

Answer:

The simplified expression is:

$\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6+\left(-2\right)=0.2y+0.2x-8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

$\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6+\left(-2\right)$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$=\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6-2$

$\mathrm{Group\:like\:terms}$

$=\frac{2}{5}y-0.2y+\frac{1}{5}x-6-2$

Add similar elements

$=0.2y+\frac{1}{5}x-6-2$

$=0.2y+\frac{x}{5}-6-2$

$=0.2y+\frac{x}{5}-8$

$=0.2y+0.2x-8$

Thus, the simplified expression is:

$\frac{2}{5}y+\frac{1}{5}x-0.2y-6+\left(-2\right)=0.2y+0.2x-8$
