Write the expression with only positive exponents and evaluate if possible. Assume all variables represent nonzero real
numbers.
-$$\frac { 1 } { 5 } \left( 10 y + \frac { 10 } { 3 } x - 20 \right)$$
A) $2 y - \frac { 2 } { 3 } x - 4$
B) $2 y + \frac { 2 } { 3 } x + 4$
C) $2 y + \frac { 2 } { 3 } x - 4$
D) $2 y - \frac { 2 } { 3 } x + 4$

Distributing $\frac{1}{5}$ across the terms inside the parentheses gives: $\frac{1}{5} \cdot 10y = 2y$, $\frac{1}{5} \cdot \frac{10}{3}x = \frac{2}{3}x$, and $\frac{1}{5} \cdot (-20) = -4$, resulting in $2y + \frac{2}{3}x - 4$.
