Answer:

2.8a²+0.9a - 1.2

Explanation:

Given the expression 0.3(3a-4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)

Expand using the distributive law

0.3(3a-4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)

0.3(3a)-0.3(4)-0.05(8a)(-7a)

0.9a-1.2 - 0.05(8a)(-7a)

0.9a - 1.2 + 2.8a²

Rearrange

2.8a²+0.9a - 1.2

Hence the required expression is 2.8a²+0.9a - 1.2
