$0.7 x + 0.2 y - 0.1$ $0.7x+0.2y-0.1$

The fact that you have decimals is not a problem at all. Just collect like terms as usual:

$0.4 x + 0.3 x + 0.5 y - 0.2 y - 0.1$ $0.4x+0.3x+0.5y-0.2y-0.1$

= $0.7 x + 0.2 y - 0.1$ $0.7x+0.2y-0.1$

How do you simplify 0.4x+0.5y−0.1+0.3x−0.2y0.4x+0.5y-0.1+0.3x-0.2y?
