Question

$$5x-7y-0.4(x-2y+z)$$

Evaluate

$\frac{23x-31y-2z}{5}$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $-0.4$ by $x-2y+z$.

$$5x-7y-0.4x+0.8y-0.4z$$

Combine $5x$ and $-0.4x$ to get $4.6x$.

$$4.6x-7y+0.8y-0.4z$$

Combine $-7y$ and $0.8y$ to get $-6.2y$.

$$4.6x-6.2y-0.4z$$

Expand

$\frac{23x-31y-2z}{5}$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply $-0.4$ by $x-2y+z$.

$$5x-7y-0.4x+0.8y-0.4z$$

Combine $5x$ and $-0.4x$ to get $4.6x$.

$$4.6x-7y+0.8y-0.4z$$

Combine $-7y$ and $0.8y$ to get $-6.2y$.

$$4.6x-6.2y-0.4z$$
