Question

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

Answer 1

-m-4

___________

5

Explanation:

Answer 2

For this case we have the following expression:

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

We add similar terms:

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

Different signs are subtracted and the sign of the major is placed:

`\frac {2-3} {5} m- \frac {4} {5} =\\- \frac {1} {5} m- \frac {4} {5} =`

The expression is simplified as:

`\frac {-m-4} {5}`

ANswer:

`\frac {-m-4} {5}`
