Question

What is 2/5m - 4/5 - 3/5 m

Answer 1

Combine like terms:

`(2)/(5)m-(4)/(5)-(3)/(5)m`

The like terms on the expression are:

`(2)/(5)m\text{ and -}(3)/(5)m`

Combining them we obtain:

`(2)/(5)m\text{ -}(3)/(5)m=(2-3)/(5)m=(-1)/(5)m`

Now, the modified equivalent expression will be:

`-(1)/(5)m-(4)/(5)`
