Add: 5 (0.5k - 1) + 2(0.4 - k) .Terms in your answer should be in decimal form. (1 point).

Answer 1

The expression 5 (0.5k - 1) + 2 (0.4 - k) can be simplified as follows:

5 (0.5k - 1) + 2 (0.4 - k)
= 5 * 0.5k - 5 * 1 + 2 * 0.4 - 2 * k
= 2.5k - 5 + 0.8 - 2k

Combining like terms, we get:

= (2.5k - 2k) + (0.8 - 5)
= 0.5k - 4.2

Therefore, the simplified expression is 0.5k - 4.2.

Answer 2

i dont need it simplified i need to add

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion. To add the terms, we can write the expression as follows:

5(0.5k - 1) + 2(0.4 - k)

Expanding the expressions within the parentheses, we have:

= 5(0.5k) + 5(-1) + 2(0.4) + 2(-k)
= 2.5k - 5 + 0.8 - 2k

Combining like terms, we get:

= (2.5k - 2k) + (-5 + 0.8)
= 0.5k - 4.2

Therefore, the sum of the terms is 0.5k - 4.2.
