Step 3

The first thing we should do is simplify the middle term by distributing negative zero point eight into the parentheses.

Step 4

Negative zero point eight times six z is negative four point eight z. And negative zero point eight times negative two is positive one point six.

Step 5

Now, let's combine the constant terms in the middle. Zero point six plus one point six equals two point two.
