To simplify the expression, we need to combine like terms.
The like terms in the expression are the terms with "x" and the terms with "y".
The "x" terms are: 2/8x and -5/8x
To combine them, we add their coefficients: 2/8 + (-5/8) = -3/8x
The "y" terms are: 3/10y and 4/10y
To combine them, we add their coefficients: 3/10 + 4/10 = 7/10y
Therefore, the simplified expression is: -3/8x + 7/10y
So, the correct answer is: 7/10x + 7/8y
Simplify by combining like terms. 2/8x+3/10y−5/8x+4/10y (1 point) Responses 7/10x+7/8y 7 tenths x plus 7 eighths y −38x+710y negative 3 eighths x plus 7 tenths y 14/18xy 14 over 18 x y 4/18xy
