Answer:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Explanation:
Given the expression:
[tex]\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}-\frac{3}{5}m[/tex]
In the expression:
[tex]\frac{2}{5}m\text{ and }\frac{3}{5}m\text{ are like terms}[/tex]
Rearrange the expression to bring the like terms together:
[tex]=\frac{2}{5}m-\frac{3}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
Next, combine the like terms:
[tex]\begin{gathered} =\frac{2m-3m}{5}-\frac{4}{5} \\ =-\frac{m}{5}-\frac{4}{5} \end{gathered}[/tex]
An equivalent expression is:
[tex]-\frac{1}{5}m-\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
