Answer:

20x - 21y + 14

Explanation:

1/5(150x - 80y + 50 - 50x- 25y + 20)

Step 1 - Distribute

1/5 • 150x = 30x

1/5 • (-80y) = -16y

1/5 • 50 = 10

1/5 • (-50x) = -10x

1/5 • (-25y) = -5y

1/5 • 20 = 4

Step 2 - Combine Variables

30x - 10x = 20x

-16y - 5y = -21y

10 + 4 = 14

Step 3 - Arrange the Set of Numbers

20x - 21y + 14

This is the simplified expression, I know it is correct, I doubled checked on my expression calculator.
