Answer

$6\frac{1}{10}.$

Work Step by Step

We simplify by removing the parentheses and add the terms as follows: $$ 2\frac{1}{5}-\left( -1\frac{3}{10} \right)+2\frac{3}{5}=\frac{11}{5}+\frac{13}{10}+\frac{13}{5}\\ =\frac{22}{10}+\frac{13}{10}+\frac{26}{10}=\frac{22+13+26}{10}\\ =\frac{61}{10}=6\frac{1}{10}. $$
