rewrite in simplest terms: -0.8(-6c + 0.7) - 0.8(0.4c + 8)

Answer 1

To rewrite the expression in simplest terms, we can simplify and combine like terms.

First, distribute -0.8 to both sets of parentheses, which gives us:
-0.8 * -6c + -0.8 * 0.7 - 0.8 * 0.4c - 0.8 * 8

This simplifies to:
4.8c - 0.56 - 0.32c - 6.4

Finally, combine the like terms:
(4.8c - 0.32c) + (-0.56 - 6.4)

This gives us:
4.48c - 6.96
