Answer:


- (14)/(5) = - 2 (4)/(5) = - 2.8 where necessary

Explanation:

So, we are to simplify:
2 * (2)/(10) * 3 - 2 * 2

First of all, divide the fraction.


2 * (1)/(5) * 3 - 2 * 2

Then, multiply the numerators on both sides of the minus sign.


(6)/(5) - 4

Now, it is clear you have to find the LCM of the denominators


(6)/(5) - (4)/(1) = (6 - 20)/(5)


- (14)/(5) = - 2 (4)/(5) = 2.8

I hope this helps
