(7x - 2) - (0.04x - 3 + 0.2x)

To simplify the expression, we can first distribute the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses:

(7x - 2) - (0.04x - 3 + 0.2x) = 7x - 2 - 0.04x + 3 - 0.2x.

Next, we can combine like terms:
(7x - 2 - 0.04x + 3 - 0.2x) = (7x - 0.04x - 0.2x) + (-2 + 3)
= 6.76x + 1.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.76x + 1.

Is there any more?

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. Let's simplify the expression further.

We can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the x terms:

(7x - 0.04x - 0.2x) = (7 - 0.04 - 0.2) x = 6.76x.

So the updated expression is: 6.76x + 1.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.76x + 1.

Do one more

Apologies for the confusion in my previous responses. Let's simplify the expression further.

We can combine like terms by adding the coefficients of the x terms:

(7x - 0.04x - 0.2x) = (7 - 0.04 - 0.2) x = 6.76x.

Then, we can also combine the constant terms:

(-2 + 3) = 1.

So the updated expression is: 6.76x + 1.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 6.76x + 1.

No like a different one

I apologize for the confusion. Let's simplify a different expression.

Let's compute (5x - 3) - (2x + 1):

Distributing the negative sign to the terms inside the second parentheses, we have:

(5x - 3) - (2x + 1) = 5x - 3 - 2x - 1.

Now, let's combine like terms:

(5x - 2x) + (-3 - 1) = 3x - 4.

Therefore, the simplified expression is 3x - 4.

Sigh

I apologize if my previous responses were not helpful. If you have another expression you would like me to simplify, please let me know and I'll be happy to assist you.
