Answer 1

hope the answer is correct

Answer 2

Solution:

____________________

Distributive property:

A(B+C) = AB+AC

____________________

Here ,

A = -2/5 , B = 3/8 , C = -25

Now ,

(-2/5)[3/8+(-25)]

= (-2/5)(3/8) + (-2/5)(25)

= (-2×3)/(5×8) + (-2×25)/5

After cancellation, we get

= -3/20 - 10

= -3/20 - (10×20)/20

= -3/20 - 200/20

= (-3-200)/20

= -203/20
