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.
