Question

Simplify the expression. -2/3c -9/5 + 14c + 3/10

Answer 1

Answer:

40/3 c-3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

calculate the sum

-2/3c-9/5+14c+3/10

40/3c -9/5+3/10

40/3c-3/2

=40/3c-3/2

Answer 2

Answer:

$13 \frac{1}{3} c - 1 \frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to combine alike terms so

-2/3c+14c & -9/5+3/10

14c-2/3

$\frac{14}{1} c - \frac{2}{3} c$

Multiply 14/1 by 3/3 to get the denominators the same

$\frac{42}{3} c - \frac{2}{3} c$

Subtract

$\frac{40}{3} c$

simplify

$13 \frac{1}{3} c$

now

$\frac{3}{10} - \frac{9}{5}$

Multiply 9/5 by 2/2

$\frac{3}{10} - \frac{ 18}{10}$

Subtract

$- \frac{15}{10}$

Simplify

$- 1 \frac{1}{2}$

put both together

$13 \frac{1}{3}c - 1 \frac{1}{2}$
