Collecting like terms involves combining terms that have the same variable. For the given expression, $-2x + 1.6y + 1.8x + 5y$, we combine the $x$ terms and the $y$ terms separately. Adding $-2x$ and $1.8x$ gives $-0.2x$, and adding $1.6y$ and $5y$ gives $6.6y$. Therefore, the expression simplifies to $-0.2x + 6.6y$.
