Answer:
2.0x-8.3y+2.3
Explanation:
Give the expression 3.7 x + (0.5-6y)+0.8-(1.7x+1-2.3y), to get the equivalent expression we will follow thw steps;
open the parenthesis
3.7 x + 0.5-6y+0.8-1.7x+1-2.3y
collect like terms
= 3.7 x -1.7x -6y-2.3y+0.5+0.8+1
= 2.0x-8.3y+1.3+1
= 2.0x-8.3y+2.3
Hence the equivalent expression is 2.0x-8.3y+2.3
