Question

PLEASE HELP = simplify 3/4(-10+2/5)

Answer 1

Answer:-7.2

Step-by-step explanation: -10+2/5 = -9.6 than -9.6 x 3/4 = 7.2

Answer 2

There are many ways to do this depending on the property you have to use:

If you use the distributive property, you need to distribute 3/4 to -10 and 2/5. Distribute means you will multiply it so your resulting equation will be this:


`(-30)/(4) - (6)/(20)`

Before you can add, you need to first make them like terms because you cannot add unlike fractions. Get the LCD and form your new equation:


`(-150+6)/(20)`

Now you can just add them together to get:

`(-144)/(20)`

and then simplify your fraction:

`(-36)/(5)` or -
`(36)/(5)`

The whole fraction becomes negative because when you divide integers and of them is negative, the final answer will be negative.
