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

Answer 1

To solve the expression, we need to apply the distributive property and then combine like terms.

First, distribute 5 to each term inside the parentheses and distribute 2 to each term inside the other set of parentheses:

5 * 0.5k - 5 * 1 + 2 * 0.4 - 2 * k

Simplify:

2.5k - 5 + 0.8 - 2k

Next, combine like terms:

(2.5k - 2k) + (-5 + 0.8)

0.5k - 4.2

The simplified expression is 0.5k - 4.2.

Answer 2

Answer should be in decimal form

Answer 3

Apologies for the oversight. The simplified expression in decimal form is 0.5k - 4.2.
