To expand the expression \( \frac{2}{5}(-5c + 10) \), we will distribute \( \frac{2}{5} \) to both terms inside the parentheses.
-
Distribute \( \frac{2}{5} \) to \(-5c\): \[ \frac{2}{5} \times -5c = -\frac{2 \times 5c}{5} = -2c \]
-
Distribute \( \frac{2}{5} \) to \(10\): \[ \frac{2}{5} \times 10 = \frac{2 \times 10}{5} = \frac{20}{5} = 4 \]
Now, combine the results from both distributions: \[ -2c + 4 \]
Thus, the expanded expression is: \[ -2c + 4 \]
