Step 1
The addition or subtraction of two algebraic expressions is performed by combining like terms (like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power).
Step 2
To perform the subtraction, combine like terms (terms with the same power) and perform the subtraction or addition of each term to obtain the answer.
(8x2a2xa+0.2)(x2a9xa0.2)=8x2a2xa+0.2x2a+9xa+0.2
=(8x2ax2a)+(2xa+9xa)+(0.2+0.2)
=7x2a+7xa+0.4
