Answer:

3/5x + 3/8

Explanation:

2/5x + 5/8 + 1/5x - 1/4

1. Combine like terms so now u have

3/5x + 3/8

In case you want to know how I got 3/8

You want a common denominator so

from 5/8 + 1/4, make both denominator 8

so 1 *2/ 4* 2

so now you converted the 1/4 to 2/8

So then 5/8 - 2/8 gives u 3/8 and that's how i got 3/8

Hope this helped!
