Math Problem Statement

Enter any coefficients as simplified proper or improper fractions or integers. 2/5m-4/5-3/5m

Solution

To simplify the given expression:

25m4535m\frac{2}{5}m - \frac{4}{5} - \frac{3}{5}m

Step-by-step Solution:

  1. Combine the like terms involving mm: 25m35m=15m\frac{2}{5}m - \frac{3}{5}m = -\frac{1}{5}m

  2. Write the remaining term: 15m45-\frac{1}{5}m - \frac{4}{5}

Thus, the simplified expression is:

15m45-\frac{1}{5}m - \frac{4}{5}
