Solution steps

\frac{2}{5} (5 x y - 2)

Apply the distributive law:

a (b - c) = ab - a c

\frac{2}{5} (5 x y - 2) = \frac{2}{5} \cdot 5 x y - \frac{2}{5} \cdot 2

= \frac{2}{5} \cdot 5 x y - \frac{2}{5} \cdot 2

Simplify

\frac{2}{5} \cdot 5 x y - \frac{2}{5} \cdot 2 : 2 x y - \frac{4}{5}

= 2 x y - \frac{4}{5}
