To simplify the expression \( 5(0.1x - 0.2) + 10x \):
1. Distribute the 5:
\[
5 \cdot 0.1x - 5 \cdot 0.2 = 0.5x - 1
\]
2. Now combine this with \( 10x \):
\[
0.5x - 1 + 10x
\]
3. Combine the \( x \) terms:
\[
0.5x + 10x = 10.5x
\]
4. So the final simplified expression is:
\[
10.5x - 1
\]
Therefore, the simplified expression is \( 10.5x - 1 \).
