Simplify by combining like terms.

Question

2/8x+3/10y−5/8x+4/10y

Answer 1

To simplify this expression, we want to combine like terms by grouping together the terms with the same variables raised to the same powers.

First, let's group the terms with the variable x together and the terms with the variable y together:

(2/8x - 5/8x) + (3/10y + 4/10y)

Next, simplify each group of terms:

(-3/8x) + (7/10y)

Putting it all together, the simplified expression is:

-3/8x + 7/10y
