Simplify by combining like terms. 2/8x+3/10y−5/8x+4/10y

Answer 1

To simplify this expression, we can combine like terms.

First, let's combine the terms with the variable x: 2/8x - 5/8x.

2/8x - 5/8x can be simplified to (2 - 5)/8x, which equals -3/8x.

Now, let's combine the terms with the variable y: 3/10y + 4/10y.

3/10y + 4/10y can be simplified to (3 + 4)/10y, which equals 7/10y.

Therefore, the simplified expression is -3/8x + 7/10y.
