Answer:

1/2k - 3/5

Explanation:

Hey there!

Well the only fraction needed to combine are,

2/5 and 1/10.

To add them we need to make 2/5 have a denominator of 10.

To do that we multiply 5 by 2.

5*2 = 10

What happens to the denominator happens to the denominator.

2*2 = 4

Fraction - 4/10

4/10 + 1/10 = 5/10

5/10

simplified

1/2

1/2k - 3/5

Hope this helps :)
