To expand the expression 2/5(-5c+10), you can use the distributive property. This means you multiply each term inside the parentheses by 2/5.
Step 1: Multiply 2/5 by -5c:
(2/5) * (-5c) = -10c/5 = -2c
Step 2: Multiply 2/5 by 10:
(2/5) * 10 = 20/5 = 4
Putting it all together, the expanded expression is: -2c + 4.

To expand 2/5(-5c+10), we can distribute 2/5 to each term inside the parentheses by multiplying each term by 2/5.
First, let's distribute 2/5 to -5c:
2/5 * -5c = (-10/5)c = -2c
Next, let's distribute 2/5 to 10:
2/5 * 10 = (20/5) = 4
Now, plugging the distributed values back into the expression, we have:
2/5(-5c+10) = -2c + 4
So, the expanded form of 2/5(-5c+10) is -2c + 4.
