Answer 1

0.4b-3c

Explanation:

0.2(2b-15c)

Distribute. This means to multiply the stuff outside the parentheses by the stuff inside it.

0.2 x 2b = 0.4b

0.2 x -15c = -3

Therefore your final answer is,

0 . 4 b - 3 c

Answer 2

Distribute

0.2 × 2b + 0.2 × -15c

Simplify 0.2 × 2b to (0.4)b

0.4b + 0.2 × -15c

Simplify 0.2 × - 15c to -3c

0.4b - 3c
