To simplify the expression 2/8x + 3/10y - 5/8x + 4/10y, we combine the like terms by adding/subtracting their coefficients.
The x terms are 2/8x and -5/8x. When we subtract these two terms, we get -3/8x.
The y terms are 3/10y and 4/10y. When we add these two terms, we get 7/10y.
Therefore, the simplified expression is -3/8x + 7/10y.
Simplify by combining like terms.2/8x+3/10y−5/8x+4/10y
