Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To simplify the expression, we can distribute the negative sign on the second part of the expression:

(7x - 2) - (0.04x - 3 + 0.2x)
= 7x - 2 - 0.04x + 3 - 0.2x

Now, let's combine like terms:

= (7x - 0.04x - 0.2x) + (-2 + 3)
= 6.76x + 1

Therefore, 7x - 2) - (0.04x - 3 + 0.2x) simplifies to 6.76x + 1.
