Question

What is 2/5 y + 1/5 x -0.2y-6+(-2)

Answer 1

`(y)/(5) + (x)/(5)-8`

Explanation:

1) Simplify 2 /5y to 2y/5.

`(2y)/(5) + (1)/(5) x-0.2 y-6-2`

2) simplify 1/5x to x/5.

`(2y)/(5) +(x)/(5) -0.2y-6-2`

3) Collect like terms.

`((2y)/(5) -0.2y) + (x)/(5) +(-6-2)`

4) Simplify.

`(y)/(5)+ (x)/(5) -8`

Therefor, the answer is y/5 + x/5 -8.
