Simplify the expression. (−0.75x − 5) − (6.5x + 5.4)

−7.25x−10.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's simplify step-by-step.

−0.75x−5−(6.5x+5.4)

Distribute the Negative Sign:

=−0.75x−5+−1(6.5x+5.4)

=−0.75x+−5+−1(6.5x)+(−1)(5.4)

=−0.75x+−5+−6.5x+−5.4

Combine Like Terms:

=−0.75x+−5+−6.5x+−5.4

=(−0.75x+−6.5x)+(−5+−5.4)

=−7.25x+−10.4
